Use report templates
Here a template for the report can be selected. By default, the default
template will be used. This default template can be selected in the tem-
plate manager.
Operator
Here the test operator can be edited. This operator name is stored for the
following measurements, but not for the verifications.
4.1.6
Limits
Enable Upper and Lower Limits
Select to enable the display of the upper and lower tolerance limits for the
measurements. Specific color coding is adopted to differentiate between
upper and lower limits.
4.2
Verification (Performance & Uncertainty Check)
To see how a verification can be performed please refer to chapter "6.2
Device Verification".
4.2.1
Test Block Management
It is important to verify the correct functionality of the instrument on a
testblock calibrated in the genuine native scale of the probe being used.
In the test block management section, different test blocks information
can be stored. Test blocks that are listed here can then be used during
the verification process.
4.2.2
Workflow
Standard
Select the standard according to which the verification should be performed.

NOTE! First time user: It is recommend to complete a "Tu-
torial on Leeb and Portable Rockwell Hardness Testing" as
appropriate or watch a demonstration by a qualified Proceq
representative.
NOTE! The performance check should be done regularly be-
fore each use of the instrument to verify the mechanical and
electronic functions of the impact device and the indicat-
ing device. This requirement is also included in the DIN and
ASTM Leeb hardness standards, see chapter "8.1 Features".
4.2.3
Verification Standards and Extended Uncertainty
It is recommended for the instrument to be verified prior to testing. This
gives the user the extra assurance that the device is working correctly
and the measurement data are accurate. Although the verification pro-
cess is similar on all Leeb, Portable Rockwell (mechanical penetration
depth) and UCI standards, user has the option to comply with the pre-
ferred standard/verification procedure.
