When suspensions and/or lubricants are used in a preparation step,
first the type of suspension or lubricant is selected and afterwards
the dosing level.
Following "Level:", two values can be set, e.g. 1 / 5
The first value [1] is the pre-dosing level, the amount of suspension
or lubricant applied onto the surface before the actual step is started.
This is used to provide a lubricated surface to avoid any damage that
could occur if the specimens would be running on a dry surface.
Depending on the frequency of use and the type of surface different
values should be set. For frequently used surfaces a lower value can
be used than for surfaces used only once in a while.
The second value [5] is the dosing level maintained throughout the
preparation. This is set according to the type of surface: soft, napped
polishing cloths require more lubricant than hard, flat cloths or fine
grinding discs. Fine grinding discs require a higher dosing level of
abrasive than polishing cloths.
