Instruction manual for MH & MH+M
17
On the manual MICRO-HITE, the probing force (and therefore the position of the probe on the
measuring carriage) is visible through a coloured bar on the right side of the screen. At any
moment, when the probe comes in contact with the workpiece to be measured, this bar is
activated and changes its colour according to the applied pressure.
When the probe touches the piece, the bar on the right displays a unique horizontal black mark.
This mark corresponds to the minimum required pressure in order to have a single probing be
taken. If the pressure is not high enough, the bar colour is orange. When the mark has been
passed by the displayed force, the colour becomes green or even red if the pressure is too
high.
Two horizontal lines are also displayed in the middle of the bar. They represent the ends of the
measurement zone defined by letter C in the table below.
