## 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.
