7. MODIFICATION OF THE MEASUREMENT CONDITIONS AND EVALUATING CONDITIONS
■ Measurement involving different traverse lengths
Measurement of different traverse lengths is available. The evaluation start points of
profile A and B must be aligned.
Therefore, as shown below, traverse lengths may be longer than the long evaluating
conditions in some cases.
The following settings are used in the example.
