12.3.4 Understanding the Color Scale
LFM data is typically monitored in the trace direction with the scan angle set to 90 degrees. The
data then follows a convention where lighter colors mean higher friction. Darker colors mean less
friction. The sign of the color is inverted if Retrace is monitored (see
