3. Operating instructions
1 Boot and measurement page and mode introduction
If the page shown in Figure 2 appears when the instrument is automatically calibrated, the calibration is passed.
Fig. 1a, Fig. 2a is the start-up calibration process of multi-angle gloss meter, Fig. 1b, Fig. 2b is the start-up calibration process of single-angle gloss meter, in the follow-up explanation, take multi-angle as an example to describe, the settings of single-angle are consistent with multi-angle, and only 60 degrees of data are displayed on the display data.
After the calibration is passed, the instrument automatically jumps to the measurement page, as shown in Figure 3. On the Figure 3 page, you can do the following:

There are four measurement modes under the "Mode Selection" page: "Basic Mode", "Sampling Mode", "Statistical Mode", and "Continuous Mode". The following are the functions of each mode.
"Basic Mode": a simple and practical measurement mode without saving and statistical functions;
Sampling Mode: The measurement mode in which the standard sample is taken. Before measuring in "Statistical Mode" and "Continuous Mode", you need to enter the "Sampling Mode" for sampling. Then, after the standard sample and tolerance are determined, the "statistical mode" and "continuous mode" measurements can be made;
Statistical Mode: In this mode, you need to select standards and set tolerances before measuring. It has the function of statistics and saving measurement data. When measuring, the measured value of the measured item and the statistical value of the difference, maximum value, range, etc. of the measured value are displayed;
"Continuous Mode": In this mode, you need to select standards and set tolerances before measuring. The difference between it and the Statistical Mode is that the measurements cannot be saved. The number of measurements can be set to automatically repeat the measurement of the measured product. It is also possible to set the time interval for measurement, which is measured in seconds(s). The default time interval of the machine is 5s, as shown in Figure 13.
