One Device, Multiple Measurement Parameters

The EddyCus® portable is capable of measuring multiple parameters. Sheet resistance correlates with metal layer thickness, emissivity, and resistivity. As long as the material properties are well known, all of these parameters can be measured with high precision.

Software and Device Control

The intuitive software interface allows users to quickly select a predefined recipe and initiate a measurement with a single click. Results are displayed in under one second.

  • User-friendly user in­ter­face
  • Touch dis­play
  • Di­git­al data track­ing
  • Long bat­tery life­time (ap­prox­im­ately 9 h in con­tinu­ous op­er­a­tion)
  • In­stant meas­ure­ment of sheet res­ist­ance and cor­rel­ated prop­er­ties such lay­er thick­ness and emissiv­ity and data aggregation
  • Bluetooth interface
