Selecting Measurement Options
After turning the gauge on, you can set several parameters,
including:
• Measurement Count Time
• Background Count Time
• Measurement Units
• Automatic or Manual Depth Modes
• Moisture Input Method
• Measurement Order
• Date and Time
• User ID
• Initialization frequency
These parameters may need to be changed from time to time
depending on the intended use of the gauge.
Additionally, the gauge offers a Status function that enables you
to view selected information about the current gauge status and
setup. To access this function, press the STATUS key.
The gauge displays two screens of information, including the
measurement units, count time, measurement mode, battery
status, Proctor value, Gmb (Marshall) value, Gmm (Voidless
density) value, and measurement depth. Use the arrow keys to
scroll between the two screens.
To begin, press the SETUP key. For information on all of the
functions available from the Setup menu, see Chapter 5:
Setup Menu.
Setting the Count Time
The count time defines how long the gauge measures. Longer
count times produce better measurement precision. Troxler
recommends a count time of two minutes for most sample
measurements. The 30 second count time should only be used
when a quick measurement is required because the precision is
not as good as the longer count times.
