The graph above is an example of the result obtained by using a IG13. The distance between
the red points is not the same, which means that the measurement speed had varied. The
smaller this distance is, the more precise the (blue) result curve will be.
In addition, it is important not to change abruptly the direction of the probe displacement during
the measurement. In other words, if you start the measurement directing the probe upwards
(respectively downwards), it is important to maintain this direction during the whole measurement
and to avoid going back and forth on the surface. This could have a negative impact on the
measurement results.
18.8 Zero setting
Once initialised, the probe sends its position to the measuring range (displayed on the screen).
Most of the time, this value is not representative for the result to be obtained.
Once positioned with “pressure” on the workpiece, it is important to set this value to zero
before the measurement, in order to have a reference value and to be able to easily read the
results once they are displayed on the screen.
18.9 Measuring
range
It is possible to define a range that represents the distance (from the height where the
measurement starts) in which the measurement is defined. Once this distance passed, the
measurement will automatically stop.
