High Gloss Mode – select surface type and algorithm

To use High Gloss Mode, TAMS must be set to the correct surface type and algorithm so that Quality and Harmony are calculated for smooth, reflective finishes.

Choose the High Gloss surface type

  1. Open the Menu.
  2. Go to My Car (or the surface settings section, depending on firmware).
  3. Set Surface type to the option used for high‑gloss, top‑coated surfaces (typically C‑Coat or equivalent in your version).

This tells TAMS that measurements will be taken on smooth, reflective finishes rather than low‑gloss or raw surfaces.

Select the High Gloss algorithm

  1. Open Menu → Admin → Quality control algorithm.
  2. For the chosen surface type (for example C‑Coat), scroll through the available algorithms.
  3. Select the standard High Gloss algorithm (typically CC‑TAMS‑STD or the site‑specific High Gloss mode name).
  4. Confirm the selection with OK.

In this configuration, TAMS reports the sub‑parameters Contrast (C), Sharpness (S), Waviness (W) and Dimension (D) for each measurement, and uses them to calculate the perception‑based indices Quality (Q) and Harmony (H) after batching.

When to use other algorithms

If special evaluation methods are required for particular products or customers, additional High Gloss algorithms may be available as options under the same surface type. These can be selected in the same way as CC‑TAMS‑STD. Custom algorithms should only be used where specified by internal procedures or Rhopoint support; otherwise the standard High Gloss mode is recommended for general use.
