Measurement Modes

No two inspections are the same. It is for this reason that the Elcometer 480 is equipped with three measurement modes:

Standard Mode: Press the measure button to take an individual spot measurement.

Auto Repeat Mode: When the glossmeter is slid over the surface a measurement of all three angles is automatically taken at a user definable rate between 10 - 180 readings per minute. When enabled all the individual readings are stored into memory.

Scan Mode: As the glossmeter slides over the entire surface area the gauge measures all three angles at a continuous rate of 10 readings per second. When stopped, the gauge displays and stores the average, highest and lowest values - ideal for checking a sample’s overall uniformity.
