| MiniTest Series 700 with SIDSP® |
Conforms to and supports: SSPC-PA2, ISO, Swedish (SS 18 41 60), Australian (AS
3894.3), ISO 19840 and ASTM D 7091 (formerly D 1186 and D 1400)
The MiniTest 700 Series features exclusive digital SIDSP® (Sensor Integrated Digital Signal Processing) sensor technology. With SIDSP® technology, the coating thickness values are completely analyzed and processed in the sensor and sent to the host gage where the thickness value is displayed. The MiniTest 700 is ergonomically designed
and allows the MiniTest gage to fit perfectly into
the palm of your hand. Designed for utmost
flexibility for quality control and inspections,

While the heart of the new MiniTest 700 Series lies in the digital SIDSP® technology sensors, the host devices have undergone dramatic changes from a new ergonomic design with a 180° rotatable display to user configurable gage design. The MiniTest 740 offers the ability for the user to configure the gage as an integral, built-in probe style or by simply changing the probe cartridge and adding a cable, the gage converts to an external probe style gage for hard to reach areas.

What is SIDSP®? |
| SIDSP® is a world wide leading technology for coating thickness sensors developed by ElektroPhysik, setting another new benchmark for innovative coating thickness measurement. SIDSP® stands for Sensor-Integrated Digital Signal Processing - a technology where the signals are completely processed into digital form inside the sensor at the time and point of measurement. SIDSP® sensors are manufactured according to completely new state-of-the-art production techniques. |
| How does SIDSP® work? |
| Unlike conventional techniques, the SIDSP® sensors create and control the excitation signals for the sensor head inside the sensor. The return signals are directly digitally converted and processed at a 32 bits accuracy to give you the complete coating thickness value. For this technique, highly sophisticated methods of digital signal processing are used as known from modern telecommunication technologies (mobile phone networks) such as digital filters, base band converting, averaging, stochastic analysis, etc., achieving a signal quality and precision unmatched so far with analog signal processing. The thickness value is digitally transmitted via the sensor cable to the display unit. |
| Why choose SIDSP®? |
| SIDSP® sensors display extremely high interference immunity. Anything that has to do with measuring signals will be handled by SIDSP® in direct proximity to the sensor head. No more interference during transmission of the measuring signals via a sensor cable - because with SIDSP® there is no measuring signal transmission taking place via the sensor cable. The sensor cable only supplies power to the sensor and serves as a communication interface transmitting the coating thickness values to the display unit in digital form. Even if your application requires an extremely long cable - no problem - the increased immunity to interference remains with long cable extensions. |
| SIDSP® sensors provide excellent adaptability |
| Need to take a few quick spot measurements? Just activate the quick mode and the sensor will adapt to your specific task setting. Need to achieve the highest possible accuracy of measurement? No problem, just select the high precision mode and the gage will adapt to it. Whether your requirements are to take single readings or make continuous measurements - make your choice - SIDSP® can do both. |
| SIDSP® N and FN sensors compensate for substrate conductivity |
| With ElektroPhysik’s specific automatic compensation method, the SIDSP® eddy current sensors are applicable to a wide range of non-ferrous substrate materials with various conductivities such as copper, titanium, etc. without the need of recalibrating the gage to the particular substrate. |
| All MiniTest models include: Plastic carrying case containing • Gage • SIDSP® sensor • Calibration Set with calibration standards and zero reference plate(s) • Instruction manual in English, German, French and Spanish on CD • 2 Mignon / AA batteries. |
