Software user manual for the Hengxin HV-1000 image‑processing microhardness tester, covering installation, operation and calibration.
The manual introduces the HV-1000 image‑processing microhardness meter, a high‑tech test instrument that combines CCD optical imaging, measurement technology and computer image processing to automate Vickers hardness testing. It details system composition, hardware requirements, and software features such as parameter input, real‑time display and database management.
Installation steps cover connecting the computer, installing the image card, encryption dongle and the software itself. Operational guidance includes system management functions, image capture tools, measurement methods (region selection, histogram, automatic and manual point‑drawing), and calibration procedures to ensure accurate hardness values. This manual is written in Chinese.
