2. System description and Delivery notes
Please read the instruction manual before using the
instrument and note the safety instructions.
The instrument simulates visual evaluation under
different observing angles and characterizes clouds /
mottles by their size and visibility.
The measurement system consists of the portable
measurement device, docking station and the
smart-chart program.
Depending on the application, the system can be
used in various ways, from single measurements in
R & D up to routine quality control procedures (e.g.
automobile).
In order to guarantee a flexible data analysis, it is
essential to allocate the data to a clearly defined
object (identification).
The so-called “Organizer” file clearly defines the
object to be measured. The Organizer needs to be
created in the smart-chart software and defines the
measurement sequence (sampling procedure). This
file is transferred to the instrument then to guide the
user during measurement.
