Description

A robust instrument with integral touchscreen. Due to intuitive user guidance, the operation of the instrument is self-explanatory. The samples are clamped automatically. The operator can choose the number of samples (1-16). The instrument can be checked easily using the provided checking weight. Single values, statistics and ratio are displayed on the touchscreen.

Test description

The operator places the sample and pushes the start button. All further functions are performed automatically: The samples are cut, the pendulum released, the value evaluated and displayed, the pendulum is slowed down and returns to its initial position. The instrument is then ready for further measurements. A simple keystroke changes the paper direction (MD/CD). Thus, average and ratio are calculated.
