In using the AGEN Model the measurements are conducted through the eyepiece. The micrometers are then aligned with the diagonals for measurement. The reading provided using the micrometers is then manually entered into the tester using the number keypad to receive the hardness reading on the LCD screen.

In using the DGEN Model the measurements are conducted through the eyepiece. There is an encoder provided with this system. The micrometers are aligned with the diagonals and the reading will be transmitted into the system with a simple click of a button. The generated hardness reading will be displayed on the LCD screen.

In using the DGEN CCD Model the measurements can be conducted using the eyepiece of through the CCD Camera with the Analysis software. In conducting measurements through the CCD Camera and the Analysis software, the micrometers will automatically align with the diagonals of the indentation and the reading will be displayed in your PC through the included USB/RS-232 cord.
