Theory
The LFM probes (shown in Figure 3- 12 on page 3-10) measure
deflection of the indenter shaft relative to its normal position. As shown
in
Figure F-3, K
L
represents the stiffness of the spring that supports the
shaft. The forces exerted in the directions of each of the probes are
calculated according to the formulas in the schematic.

by LFM probes
The X and Y deflection values are stored in the _XDeflection and
_YDeflection channels. The resolved forces are stored in the _XForce
and _YForce channels.
