 – The target icon represents 

Standard Mode

. When this mode is selected on 

the 

Live Bar

, all measurements made are tagged as standards, and all data displayed is for a 

standard. 

 

 

 

 

Batch Mode

 – The dart icon represents 

Batch Mode

. When this mode is selected on the 

Live 

Bar

, all measurements made are tagged as batches, and they attached to the current standard.  

In this mode, standard and batch data display and color differences are included.
