three different positions and compare the results
- the ultrasonic waves do not penetrate glass/windows
- in case of severe temperature changes, allow the tool
to adjust to the ambient temperature for half an hour
before starting new measurements
- fluctuations in air pressure and humidity, wind noise
and other sources of noise may lead to faulty
measurements
