Proximity sensor
Proximity sensor is a safety feature that warns you if the instrument is not directly aimed
at the sample. When the status bar turns orange, you should re-aim the instrument.
You can turn off the warning, but this is not recommended - especially if other people
also using the same instrument.

Pre-burn
Pre-burn toggle is suitable for cleaning light contamination such as light rust or
anodization. Painted, rusty etc. surfaces require mechanical cleaning before taking a
measurement.
Optional: If you suspect that the sample surface isn’t clean, set Pre-burn on from the
pull-down menu. You can adjust the number of pre-burns from the ‘Settings’ menu.
