DIGITS B-SCAN
In the upper left corner of each of the display photos above, is the repeatability
indicator. The repeatability indicator is represented by five vertical bars and
represents how repeatable the measurements are. In regular measurement mode,
the CMX makes 8 measurements a second. In scan mode, the CMX makes 200
measurements a second. If the coating mode option is activated, the CMX makes 3
measurements a second in regular measurement mode and 65 measurements a
second in scan mode. When the CMX is idle, only the left vertical bar will be
displayed. However, when the CMX is making a measurement, four or five of the
bars should be displayed on the repeatability indicator. If fewer than four bars are
showing, the CMX is having difficulty achieving a stable measurement and the
thickness value displayed is potentially unstable.
