TARGET MENU
The gauge uses operator-specified target values to determine the
percent compaction after it has determined the density of the test
material. Target values include Gmb (Marshal)l, Proctor, and Gmm
(Voidless density) values.
The gauge uses the Marshall and/or voidless density values to
calculate the compaction level in the Asphalt mode. The voidless
density is the maximum theoretical density for the test material as
obtained in laboratory tests. When enabled, the voidless density is
used to determine the percent air voids.
The gauge uses the Proctor value to calculate the compaction level
when taking measurements in the Soil mode.
The Target function enables the operator to enter and store a new
target value, as well as to enable or disable a target value stored in
memory. To access the Target menu, press the
〈TARGET〉 key. The
gauge displays:
NOTE
The 〈TARGET〉 key is active only when the Ready
screen is displayed.
To edit a Marshall, Proctor, or voidless density value, press the
number key that corresponds to that target value. For example, to
edit the Gmb (Marshall) value, press
〈1〉.
