Amplitude sensitive eddy current test method
Method for measuring the thickness of electrically nonconducting coating ma-
terials on nonmagnetic metals, DIN EN ISO 2360, ASTM D7091
Batch
A file for organizing and controlling the measurement data.
All the settings rel-
evant to measuring the coating thickness of a coated sample and the measure-
ment readings themselves are saved in a file. Such a file is called a batch in
the gage. In the batch, you define the measurement procedure, e.g. whether
the specification limit is to be monitored during the measurement or whether
the measurement readings are to be logged in measurement block groups. The
batch file is assigned to a Calibration method and the link to the Calibration
to which the measurements are referenced is saved. Different preconfigured
batch files identified as Batch types are available in the gage.
Batch type
Each batch type is assigned a certain Calibration method and contains some
presets for the measurement procedure. The configuration of a batch type de-
pends on the requirements of the guideline/standard and required measure-
ment accuracy, which is determined by the calibration method.
Calibration
A calibration is a reference measurement during which the material properties
and geometric shape of the Sample are recorded and saved in a calibration
file, separate from the Batch. In order to measure, it is absolutely essential that
a calibration has been assigned to a batch.

Calibration method
The calibration method is a predefined calibration procedure. This procedure
determines the measurement accuracy for subsequent measurements. A cali-
bration method consists of one or a combination of both of the following cali-
bration steps:
