Description

Material

To select a material characteristic for the measure-
ment.
In addition, a calibration can be executed for the  
selected material characteristic, as well as a name 
and  limit values can be defined in the material setup 
menu. The first material characteristic (factory calibra-
tion) can not be recalibrated.
