DELTA XRF Analyzer Labeling Feature
1 like1,911 views
The document discusses how to create useful labels for real-time testing using a DELTA XRF Analyzer. Labels and their options can be created in a spreadsheet and imported, automatically setting up the labels in the analyzer. This allows labeling of quality control inspections and in-service tests with simple selection of the appropriate label set. Test results are linked to the labels, allowing creation of reports in PMI software. Printing of labels or results is also possible with an accessory Bluetooth printer. The real-time labeling feature streamlines testing and ensures traceability of reliable test data for effective preventative maintenance inspections.
