If changes are made here, they are set for all the upcoming measure-
ment series. If the settings menu is accessed through the measurement
screen, changes are only valid for the actual measurement series.
4.1.1 Probe Type
Probe types are automatically recognised by the device. Default settings
can be set and will be used for each measurement device. If the meas-
urement settings are accessed from the measurement screen, the active
probe can be selected.
4.1.2 Test piece management (Coming Soon)

Material
The desired material group can be selected from the default list, in addition
you may predefine custom material groups which will be displayed here. For
custom material/curves please refer to chapter "6.4 Conversion Curve Crea-
tion". For more information on material groups related to Leeb please refer to
chapter "3.3.1.9 Material Groups", for Portable Rockwell chapter "3.3.2.10
Material Groups" and for UCI "3.3.3.6 Conversions into Other Units".
Primary and Secondary scales
The user has the possibility to select two different scales in which the
measurement results are displayed.
NOTE! Conversion for HLD to HV, HB and HRC are standard-
ized as per ASTM E140. Conversion for Portable Rockwell
(μm) and UCI can be switched between ASTM E140 and ISO
18265).
NOTE! Equotip Leeb Impact Device U does not support con-
version curves, therefore these settings are not available.
Conversion Standards – Leeb
The conversion standard for Shore hardness HS switched between the
default conversion according to ASTM E448 or the Japanese conversion
according to JIS B7731.
NOTE! Measurements for certain types of Steel can be con-
verted to tensile strength according to DIN EN ISO 18265.
Conversion Standards – Portable Rockwell
The default measuring method DIN 50157, is applicable for testing all
metallic material, and it generally yields more consistency. For conver-
sions, user has the choice to select either ISO or ASTM.
