The reference profile section is marked with vertical lines called the average
reference cursors. These cursors are drawn with large dashes and connected by
bars at the top and bottom of the screen to distinguish them from the other
cursors.
1.
Position the measurement cursors on the profile section to be compared to
the reference.
The field labeled "Avg" will show the average profile height between the
measurement cursors. The field labeled "dAv" will now show the difference
between this value and the reference reading.
When the measurement cursors are moved, the average height and average
difference will be updated.
2.
To exit Average Difference mode, press CUR then ABT. The vertical
height field will now display the difference between the cursor heights. See
the hard copy manual for a figure showing the Average Difference Mode
display.
4.6. Printing
There are three available printing modes: "Screen" in which the entire contents
of the screen, including the plot of the profile, is printed; "Summary Data"
prints out only the data shown on the left side of the screen; "Data Send"
sends all data to the RS-232C
serial output instead of the printer.
Screen and Summary Data print modes are used to make print-outs on the
internal printer or on the optional remote printer. Data Send uses the RS-
232C serial output to send the data to an external device such as
an 80-column serial printer or a host computer.
Your choice of printer mode remains in effect until changed. A printout or
data send can be initiated whenever the results of a scan are are displayed on
the screen.
1.
Initiate "Enter Mode" by hitting the ENT key if you have not already done
so.
2. Press the white print button to change the print mode. The selection will
be highlighted in reverse video.
3.
With the desired mode selected, press ENT to leave the Scan Menu, or
press START/STOP to leave the Scan Menu and begin a scan.
