8.1.4 Plausibility
Defects on the sample surface, such as scratches or craters, can cause major errors in measure-
ment values. The instrument automatically corrects these errors: The affected scan areas are cut
out and the measurement values are calculated from the corrected data.
If Plausibility is active, the instrument compares the corrected and uncorrected measurement
value. The greater the difference between the corrected and uncorrected data, the more critical
is the surface defect.
NOTICE
If the difference is greater than 20%, the measurement will be evaluated as a faulty measure-
ment and an error message appears. In this case a new measurement is needed.
The following image shows the measurement range, if Plausibility is inactive (switched off).
