Getting started

After completing a measurement, the

measurement results are displayed. Performing

the measurement requires some practice. The

following error messages are especially likely to

occur during the first trials.

A warning signal is heard and the light diode

flashes at a rapid rate. At the same time, a

message appears in the display indicating the type

of error:
Speed
You have moved the measurement unit too

quickly or unevenly over the sample. Confirm this

information by pressing the operate button and

repeat the measurement.

Scan length
The required scan length has not been reached

completely.

Repeat the measurement, moving the device until

a short audio confirmation is heard.
Small areas can be measured by moving the

instrument back and forth.

Acceleration
The instrument was accelerated too fast across the

specimen or the scan direction was changed too

fast.

Confirm the message by pressing “operate” and

repeat the measurement.
