General Sample Measurement
The instrument can take measures from just about any clean, dry surface that is reasonably flat.
The instrument shoe should be able to rest flat and steady on the sample area. If the item to be
measured is smaller than the shoe, you may want to make a platform—at the same height as the
item—for the rest of the instrument’s shoe to sit on.
Procedure:
1.
Clear the sample surface of any dirt, dust, or moisture.
2.
Position the target window over the sample to measure. If possible, place the entire
instrument on the sample.
3.
Press the instrument firmly to the shoe and hold steady until the display indicates that the
measurement is complete.
4.
Release the instrument and view the measurement results.
An unsuccessful measurement will be indicated by an error message. See the Troubleshooting
section for more details.
