7. Main user interface
This is the window that is shown after starting the PresScan™.
The display is split into two main area; on the right hand side the selected
measurements are displayed together with all the relative data, on the left
hand side there is a small menu to access into the instrument functions.
The measurement date and time displayed are indicated above the graph area
while the survey average humidity value is indicated underneath.
The humidity scale in g/m2is shown on the vertical axis while on the horizontal
axis the time is indicated in seconds (meaning the measurement’s length of
time); the dynamics of this parameter adapt automatically to the
measurement’s length of time in a way that all the data is shown in one single
window at the end of the measurement .
The free memory space in the memory of the instrument (expressed in
minutes and seconds) is indicated in the bottom left hand corner of the display.
There are also indications of the actual date and time as well as the acquisition
speed of the measurement (number of the electric data acquired per second).
This part of the display is also used for indicating any error messages.
A menu is located at the top, inside this menu the selected item is highlighted
on the side with a “ * “ symbol.
Move onto the desired item using the cursor keys and then select by pressing
ENTER.
8. Carrying out a measuring session
After being switched on, the instrument is already set up to carry out a new
measurement.
It is possible to choose between two different functions of the measuring
buttons: switch on/switch off or button hold to measure (pls refer to the 9.5.5
“miscellaneous” menu).
Press (or hold it pressed) one of the two measuring keys located on the
handles in order to start measuring. A message will appear on the display
indicating that the measurement is in being carried out.
During the measurement the humidity profile will be shown for the first 25
seconds approximately, afterwards the display will not be updated until the
measuring session is over.
In order to interrupt the measurement, press one of the measuring keys again,
