To allow the measurement of a wide range of surface finishes the Optimap has two
optical configurations (models) available for selection – Reflective and Dull.
A reflective model is suitable for surfaces with a mid to high gloss finish (>30GU) e.g.,
automotive topcoats, clearcoats etc., metals, by default the Optimap will automatically
select this setting.
A dull model is suitable for surfaces with a mid to low gloss finish (<30 GU) e.g., e-
coats and primers
The desired surface model is chosen by pressing the named button, which will become
grey and deactivated to show that it has been selected.
Unlike the Optimap2 the Optimap3 sets the exposure time of the camera for each
measurement based on the reflectivity of the surface being measured, so different
surfaces that fall into the same gloss range, reflective or dull, can be measured in the
same batch. The surface model can also be changed during a project for samples with
high differences in gloss.
The Optimap3 has a selection of different algorithms which alter the type of results
that are presented. The algorithm to be used on the next measurement is shown in
the algorithm box and can be changed with the left and right arrows. The reflective
and dull surface models have different possible algorithms. When the surface type is
