1 Overview Windows 8 Installation Patch: For all PHT‐series portable hardness testers 1.1 Advantages Wide measuring range. Based on the principle of Leeb hardness testing theory. 1, Connect the tester to PC via USB cable. Power up the instrument. Capable of measuring Leeb hardness of all metallic materials. 2, Run zadig_2.1.2.exe Large screen LCD, showing all functions and parameters. With background light. Seven impact devices are available for special application. Automatic identification of impact device upon plug in. Test at any angle, even upside down. Direct display of hardness scales HRB, HRC, HV, HB, HS, HL Large memory could store 100 groups (Relative to average times 1‐32 ) of information including single measured value, mean value, impact direction, impact times, material and hardness scale etc.
