minimized metrology screen, which is located in the task bar at the

The metrology screen that you were working on is maximized and 
displayed on your computer screen.
Using buttons
Each screen has its own set of buttons that perform functions or take you 
to another part of the metrology software. The following buttons are 
common to the screens or windows.
• i (Info)—Select this button for online help for an entire screen.
• Main Menu—Select this button to move directly to the Metrology 
Main Menu. 
• OK—Select this button to accept changes and close a window.
• Previous—Select this button to display the screen that logically 
precedes this screen.
You will notice that one button on the screen has a black frame around the 
text; this is the default value. You can select this button in the normal way 
or by pressing Enter.
