In this chapter, you will use your Nano Indenter G200 to perform
several tests. This Quick Start Guide is intended to convey basic
information on running the instrument and looking at data. It is not
intended to convey all of the information that you need to get the most
out of your instrument.
This Quick Start Guide introduces you to the general functions of the
instrument. You should also refer to the “Quick Start Guide” in the
User’s Manual for Compliance with ISO 14577 for a quick introduction
to running tests that are compliant with the ISO standard for
instrumented indentation testing.
