Linearize
Linearize mode is ON when this box is ticked and the "H
" appears
L
on the display.
Inside the primary range, the upper end of Coarse grade's range
and the lower end of X-Coarse grade's range share a 38 - 64 µm
(1.5 - 2.5 mils) "overlap" region.
When the Linearize box is NOT ticked, the PosiTector RTR H
displays a height value of H comparable to the value an analog
spring micrometer would display after the 50.8 µm (2 mils) of
incompressible polyester film has been subtracted. In other words,
it is the average of the maximum peak-to-valley distances obtained
by measuring the thickness of the replica tape without any
correction.
When the Linearize box IS ticked, the PosiTector RTR H displays
a more accurate peak-to-valley height measurement H
that has
L
been adjusted for the non-linearity of replica tape. There is no need
to average 2 or more replicas from different grades of tape AND
there is no need to subtract the 50.8 µm (2 mils) of incompressible
polyester film. Ensure the proper tape grade, C or XC, has been
selected (pg. 6) and appears in the upper left corner of the display.
During measurement, if the linearized measurement falls outside
of the selected tape grade's range, the Gage will suggest a more
suitable tape grade to perform the measurement.
