1.1, XYZ Sample Movement Control: The system supports XY motorized sample stages and Z-axis control; including manual control, motorized control (joystick control), and automatic control (software control). Movement in the X-Y direction can be synchronized. Motorized control uses a three-dimensional joystick, designed with ergonomic principles for simplicity, convenience, and intuitive use.

1.2. Software Operation and Loading Modes:

- Positioning Move and Load: The stage moves directly to the software-set position and applies the load.

- Point Move and Load: Select any point on the sample, move it under the indenter, and apply the load.

- Directional Move and Load: Control the stage movement in eight directions using mouse clicks, with adjustable movement steps, and then apply the load.

- Arbitrary Position Load: Drag the stage in any direction with the mouse to facilitate viewing the sample surface; loading points can be set at any position.

- Variable Speed Movement: Five speed levels are available when the stage moves.

- Other Features: Any origin position can be set, automatic reset, mechanical limits, and various professional functions to meet different needs.

1.3, Fully Automatic Operation: The system automatically moves to multiple points along a set path, rotates the turret, applies load, focuses, measures, and automatically plots hardness curves.

1.4 Hardness Value Conversion, Correction, and Effective Verification: The system can convert measured micro Vickers hardness values to other hardness scales such as HB, HR, etc.; measurement values on samples can also be effectively verified.

Multiple methods ensure that users still obtain satisfactory measurement results even when the sample is not placed vertically or horizontally.

Two-point method: Click any two points on the sample image to specify the movement direction of the stage;

Normal method: Select the normal tangent to the edge of the sample as the movement direction of the stage;

Angle bisector: By selecting an angle, use the direction of its bisector as the sample movement direction;

Arbitrary point method: Place the moving platform at any position, add a loading point, then perform loading and measurement once.

Arbitrary point loading: Double-click any position on the platform, and the platform will automatically move that point to the center of the indenter's view field for loading and measurement.

Path adjustment: For the selected path, multiple operations can be performed, such as horizontal mirroring, vertical mirroring, 90-degree or 180-degree rotation, rotation at any angle, and position translation.
