To disconnect a probe from a body, power-down the
Gage and slide the plastic probe connector horizontally
(in the direction of the arrow) away from the body.
Reverse these steps to attach a new probe.
When powered-up, the PosiTector automatically
determines which probe is attached and does a
self-check.
Additionally, the PosiTector accepts a number of probe types
including magnetic, eddy current and ultrasonic coating thickness,
surface profile, environmental and ultrasonic wall thickness
probes.

Press-O-Film provides a simple way to obtain an impression of a
surface for analysis. It consists of a layer of crushable plastic micro
foam affixed to a 50.8 µm (2 mil) incompress-
ible polyester film. When compressed against
a roughened surface, the foam collapses and
acquires an accurate impression, or reverse
replica, of the surface. It is available in a number of grades to
accommodate measurements in different profile ranges.
Placing the compressed tape (replica) into the PosiTector RTR
gives a measure of the average maximum peak-to-valley height of
the surface roughness profile. The Gage automatically subtracts
the thickness of the polyester substrate from all measurements.
