In the upper left corner of each of the mode photos above, is the repeatability
indicator. The repeatability indicator is represented by six vertical bars and
represents how repeatable the measurements are. In regular measurement mode,
the MMX-7 makes 4 measurements a second. In scan mode, the MMX-7 makes 32
measurements a second. When the MMX-7 is idle, only the left vertical bar and the
underline will be displayed. However, when the MMX-7 is making a measurement,
five or six of the bars should be displayed on the repeatability indicator. If fewer than
five bars are showing, the MMX-7 is having difficulty achieving a stable measurement
and the thickness value displayed is potentially be unstable.
