9 Calibration
The following items are required for performing a calibration: An uncoated specimen: In geometry & substrate
material, this specimen should correspond exactly to the parts to be measured and a calibration standard
(instrument-specific correction foil 75 µm (3 mils)).
Note
: All readings in the memory will be deleted when performing a calibration.
Calibrating the instrument
(Prerequisite: Instrument must be turned ON)
1. Select the menu
with button [
] or [
].
2. Press button [OK]. The message "
Base
" (for “substrate (base) material”) appears.
3.
Perform about 5 measurements on the uncoated specimen. After each measurement, the current reading will
appear on the display.
(continued on next page!)
4. Press button [OK].
By pressing button [OK], the mean value of all readings will be calculated and used for normalization.
