Test Time
The PosiTector BHI has an on-screen timer to measure the
hardness of a material after a given period of time.
Use the (-) and (+) buttons to adjust the test duration. When
taking a reading, the timer starts automatically once the indentor
is on the surface and the ▼ symbol appears on the display.
Increases the displayed resolution. Accuracy is not affected.
Cont. Reading
When enabled, the Gage will continuously display probe readings.
Ideal when a test timer is not required or when performing a
calibration verification. Cont. Reading is not available when
Memory, Statistics or HiLo Alarm modes are enabled.
