Instruction manual for MH & MH+M

5. Move the workpiece to be measured to the zone of the probe, so that you are able to position
it “with pressure” on the surface to be measured. If possible, maintain enough pressure, so
that the probe is positioned in the middle of its measuring range.
6. When using a MICRO-HITE, the measurement can only start once the context-based action
has been selected. For a MICRO-HITE+M, simply activating the probing up
or down
options will start the measurement. Note that the rotary control handle can also be used
to start the measurement.
7. Once started, the measurement is stopped by a confirmation on the key
.
8. The results are automatically displayed on the screen.
18.7 Displacement
speed and
direction (MH)
Unlike the motorised MICRO-HITE+M, which has a constant displacement speed during the
entire measurement process, the displacement speed of the manual MICRO-HITE directly
depends on the user via the handwheel used for displacement.
As all measurement points are stored at a given frequency during the measurement, the
displacement speed plays a role in the measurement results. With a high speed, the distance
between the measurement points will be bigger and less representative of the measured
workpiece. The closer the measured points are, the closer the result will be to reality.
Therefore, if the probe displacement is too quick and exceeds a limit defined in the software
(cannot be configured), an informative message will automatically be displayed on the screen.
This message only mentions that the speed is too high and that it is important to reduce the
speed for good measurements. However, the capturing will not be stopped.
