2.3.1 Probes
Various probe models are available for measurements on objects with dif-
ferent shapes and different surface properties. Special probes with different
measurement ranges are available for the following areas of application,
for example:
 particularly rough or abrasive surfaces
 Particularly soft surfaces
 damp, acidic contamination on the surface
 particularly thick or thin coatings
 hot surfaces
 Coatings in pipes and bore holes
For available probe models and the probe model best suited for your ap-
plication, see the respective probe data sheets. You can obtain this data
sheets from FISCHER or from your authorized supplier.

e instrument are
equipped with a memory chip, a so-called EEPROM, in
their connector plug. Probe-specific information (such as
probe type, production number, measurement method or
coefficients of the master characteristic, for example) is
stored permanently - even without power supply - in this
memory chip, which can be overwritten as many times as
desired.
When powering up the instrument, this information is au-
tomatically retrieved and processed by the instrument; the
instrument “recognizes” the connected probe.
Correct measurements can be performed only if the probe
that is assigned to the open Application is used for the
measurement. ( Chapter 4.2 ‘Assigning a New Probe’,
beginning on Page 35).
