The
tester for Pantec (a division of Gavazzi) presented special graphical problems
because it can be used for many different measurements, each with its own
symbols and scales. We solved this complexity by using distinct displays
in red and in white and by avoiding 'disturbing' details like the frame
of the window. This latter was achieved by creating the entire product
in transparent polycarbonate and then printing and screening it at the
inside.This has several advantages, such as:
-
protecting the graphics from abrasion by its, often rough, use.
-
allowing for variation of the body color with no relevant additional production
and storing costs
-
giving a image of perfection with a glossy transparent skin.
'Buttons' at the sides permit fixing straps for hanging the tester in front
of the operator to free both hands for holding the tester pins.
