Description
2.5 Gage concept
In order to measure, a Batch (file) and a suitable Calibration (reference) must
be created in the gage for the Measuring application. A description of the
terms measuring application, batch and calibration can be found in Chapter
"Glossary".
The essential content of the batch and calibration files and their relationship to
each other are shown schematically in the following illustration:
A measuring application is defined in the gage by a batch file and a calibration file
and their linking to each other.
Measuring application
Batch
(settings)
• Limit monitoring
• Grouping of measured read-
ings
• Offset value
• Counted average
• Measurement acquisition
(automatic after placement
the probe on the sample,
manual)
• Measurement view, decimal
places for the measured
reading
• Unit of measurement
• Save readings (yes/no)
Calibration
(recorded by reference measure-
ment)
• Material properties of the
sample
• Geometric shape of the sam-
ple
• Surface roughness
• 1 or 2 reference coating
thicknesses
• Air reference value
