1 Switching the instrument ON / OFF (valid for all instrument models except the “…-FP” models) Note: The instrument does not have a specific ON / OFF switch. Switching the instrument ON The instrument will switch ON automatically when it is placed on a specimen. If the instrument is placed on nonferromagnetic or electrically nonconductive material, the display will show the error note "Er6"... -

2 Switching the “…-FP” instrument models ON / OFF Note: The on/off operation is different to the other MP0R models!. Switching the “…-FP” instrument ON The ON key is the key [OK]. Switch the instrument ON by pressing the key [OK] Switching the instrument OFF / Auto-Switch-Off After a certain time, the instrument will switch off automatically (OFF = when instrument’s display is empty) You can set the period from the last measurement to the automatic OFF from the service mode. -

Page 8: Measurements On Coating Material
4 Measurements on coating material Making measurements with the MP0R: 1. With the instrument switched ON, place the instrument on the specimen and wait, until the acoustic signal sounds. The instrument will switch ON automatically this way. 2. Lift the instrument off the specimen. The acoustic signal sounds and the reading will be displayed. - Page 9 Measurement with the MP0R instrument...

Page 10: Evaluation Of A Test Series (Statistics Function)
5 Evaluation of a test series (Statistics function) Prerequisite: At least two readings must be saved in the measurement data memory. Note: The measurement data memory must always be empty before starting a test series that is to be evaluated (cf. - Page 11 Display Explanation Mean value (= arithmetic mean value) Standard deviation (= mean square deviation of the single readings from the mean value) Number of measurements in the test series Lowest value in the test series Highest value in the test series Meaning of statistical evaluation data shown in the display.

Page 12: Transmitting Data To A Computer
6 Transmitting data to a computer The RS232 radio interface integrated in the instrument facilitates the transmission of the data stored in the measurement data memory to an optional radio receiver (order no. of US-receiver version: 603-544). The radio receiver, in turn, transmits the data to the evaluation computer via a cable. There is a separate operator's manual for the optional radio receiver. -

Page 16: Normalizing
8 Normalizing A normalization is used to adjust the measuring instrument to a measuring task. symbol on the display of the instrument indicates the “Normalization” operating mode. The following items are required for performing a normalization: • Uncoated specimen. In geometry and substrate material, this specimen should correspond exactly to the parts to be measured. Note: All readings in the memory will be deleted when performing a normalization. - Page 17 3. Perform about 5 measurements on the uncoated specimen. After each measurement, the current reading will appear on the display. Note: If you want to delete wrong readings, press button [ESC]. Then, the complete data memory will be deleted, but the normalization routine will not be interrupted. After that, perform five more measurements. 4.

Page 18: Calibration
9 Calibration The following items are required for performing a calibration: An uncoated specimen: In geometry & substrate material, this specimen should correspond exactly to the parts to be measured and a calibration standard (instrument-specific correction foil 75 µm (3 mils)). Note: All readings in the memory will be deleted when performing a calibration. - Page 19 The mean value is set to zero. The reading 0.00 will appear on the display. The message STD1 (that is, calibration standard # 1) appears. 5. Place the calibration foil on the uncoated specimen and perform about 5 measurements. After each measurement, the current single reading will appear on the display. Note: If you want to delete wrong readings, press button [ESC].

Page 20: Deleting A Calibration / Restoring The Baseline Of The Characteristic
10 Deleting a calibration / Restoring the baseline of the characteristic Sometimes, if an instrument does not measure correctly even after a calibration, the calibration can be deleted. This can occur if the previous calibration has not been carried out correctly. In such a case, the baseline of the characteristic can be restored to its original factory condition. - Page 21 3. Perform three to five measurements on the uncoated specimen. The current reading appears on the display after each measurement. 4. Press button [OK]. Note: When pressing [OK], the mean value of all measurements is used as the normalization value. This mean value is set to 0.

On the display, set the specification limit mode using the arrow key [ ] or [ ]. 2. - Page 23 6. Measure again once on the specimen (continued on next page!) 7. Set the desired MAX value using the key [ ] or [ ]. Example: the upper specification limit 40 µm. 8. Press button [OK] to accept this value into memory. 9.

Page 25: Triggering The Group Separator
13 Triggering the group separator The purpose for group separators is to obtain and present data sets in different blocks. In an Excel spreadsheet, the group separator has the effect of writing the succeeding data set into a new column adjacent to the one that has just been processed. - Page 26 1) Automatic triggering of the group separator (with fixed block sizes) Prerequisite: the block size is set > 0. A group separator is sent automatically after the computation of the block statistics (cf. Chapter 4 “Evaluation of a test series”, Page 9) and the subsequent automatic deletion of the data of the block in the measurement memory. 2) Manual triggering of the group separator (without creating a block) Prerequisite: Block size = 0 Obtain any number of measurements.
