Educational Benefits & Features
Feature: Hardened steel electrode pins.
Benefit: Facilitates deep penetration into high-density hardwoods such as Oak or Teak, solving the issue of surface-only readings and ensuring data accuracy throughout the material cross-section.
Feature: Species-specific calibration groups.
Benefit: Allows students to adjust for varying wood densities, solving the problem of skewed data caused by different cellular structures in coniferous versus deciduous samples.
Feature: Integrated Data Hold function.
Benefit: Enables students to freeze measurement readings on the display, facilitating accurate transcription during field studies in awkward positions or low-light environments.
Feature: Automatic Temperature Compensation.
Benefit: Adjusts for ambient thermal variables that affect electrical resistance, ensuring students collect high-fidelity data regardless of seasonal laboratory temperature shifts.
Feature: Low-power CMOS circuitry.
Benefit: Extends battery longevity for continuous classroom use, ensuring the instrument is ready for multiple consecutive student laboratory rotations without power failure.
