The micro-wave-scan is oper­ated with a recharge­able bat­tery pack (Li-Ion). The dock­ing sta­tion auto­mat­i­cally charges the bat­tery pack and trans­fers the mea­sured data to the PC.
Optio­n­ally, the orange peel meter can be oper­ated with 2 stan­dard AA alka­line or recharge­able bat­teries - good for 1000 read­ings.

Comes com­plete with:
Orange peel meter, Pro­tec­tive cap,
Ref­er­ence tile with cer­tifi­cate,
Soft­ware auto-chart on CD,
Dock­ing sta­tion and inter­face cable,

Train­ing for micro-wave-scan
BYK-Gard­ner offers you more than just an instru­ment. We assist you in oper­a­tion of the micro-wave-scan sys­tem and under­s­tand­ing your appear­ance read­ings. As a result you will be able to use the orange peel meter to save time and money and at the same time improve your qual­ity. There­fore, the instru­ment comes with a one day train­ing course includ­ing:

1. Orange Peel and DOI The­ory

• Visual per­cep­tion and instru­men­tal mea­sure­ment of
  Orange Peel and DOI

• Data inter­pre­ta­tion: How can the struc­ture spec­trum
  be used to opti­mize pro­cess / mate­rial param­e­ters

2. Oper­a­tion and Soft­ware Train­ing

• Set-up of an "organizer" to cre­ate a rou­tine
  mea­sure­ment pro­ce­dure
• Pro­gram­ming of the instru­ment with "organizer" and
  mea­sure­ment of sev­eral sam­ples
• Direct data trans­fer to Excel for doc­u­men­ta­tion
  of indi­vi­d­ual read­ings
• Data trans­fer to auto-chart soft­ware and sav­ing in a database for rou­tine QC
• Data anal­y­sis using stan­dard QC-reports:
  - Sum­mary by lines to show at one glance how vari­ous
    col­ors are run­n­ing at dif­fer­ent paint lines
  - Trend chart to show how spe­c­i­fied zones per­form over
    a defined time range
  - SPC-chart for daily pro­cess con­trol of your crit­i­cal
    col­ors and high­run­n­ers: xR-chart
  - Zone pro­file for trou­ble shoot­ing using the struc­ture
    spec­trum

• Cre­ate your own reports in Excel
  - Trans­fer data from the database to Excel
  - Pivot func­tion to define lay­out in Excel

The train­ing can be per­formed in one day or two half days. It is rec­om­mended to split the train­ing into two half days:

Day 1: The­ory and basic oper­a­tion (set-up organizer,
           tak­ing read­ings and sav­ing data in a database)
Day 2: 3-4 weeks later to ensure read­ings were taken
           and saved in a database. Data anal­y­sis and
           stan­dard QC reports can be explained using
           cus­tomer spe­cific data.
