3. MEASUREMENT OPERATION

What is calibration?
Calibration of a surface roughness measuring instrument is performed by measuring (called
“calibration measurement”) a reference workpiece (precision roughness specimen) and adjust
the difference (gain adjustment), if any between the measured value and reference value
(precision roughness specimen).
With the SJ-201P, adjustment of the difference between the measured value and reference
value (gain adjustment) can be easily achieved by calibration measurement.
Calibration should be performed periodically according to how much and in which conditions
the SJ-201P is used. If the instrument is used for the first time or if the detector is mounted/
replaced, calibration is essential. Without properly calibrating the instrument, correct mea-
surement data can not be obtained.
