4.2 Measuring and Recording Thickness
This part of Chapter 4 explains how to measure and record
thicknesses. Most users will wish to store thickness mea-
surements in data files. If you wish to store the measure-
ment data that you’re about to collect and you haven’t yet
created a data file, do so now by following the step-by-step
instructions in Section 3.4.
4.2.1 Opening an Existing Data File
Use this procedure to open an existing data file. Note that a
file can only be opened or closed from the Data Recorder
Menu. (To create a new data file, refer to Section 3.4.3.)
Step 1:
Open the Data Recorder Menu accessed by pushing
. Once the DR Menu (Figure 4-4) is opened, you’ll note
five submenus listed on the Submenu Bar and three to five
selections listed across the bottom of the display.
Step 2:
Activate any submenu located in the DR Menu by
selecting it with
or so that it’s highlighted. For each
submenu, three to five selections will appear across the
bottom of the display screen.
