Each peak represents a thickness value. The peaks are count-
ed starting at the start of the measuring range (for the thinnest
layer) toward the end of the measuring range (for the thickest
layer). Combined thicknesses of adjacent layers are also eval-
uated.
The material selection for a thickness measurement starts with
the thinnest layer (layer 1) independent of the physical arrange-
ment in the measuring object, see Chap. Material Selection.
Each detected peak represents a distance value. The peaks
are counted starting at the start of the measuring range (short
distance between sensor and target) in the direction of the end
of the measuring range (long distance between sensor and
target).
