The user should verify that the instrument is making accurate thickness
measurements after a calibration file is recalled. Recalled calibration files may have
been performed when the instrument was in a different location, or there may have
been changes in the ambient magnetic field or temperature since the calibration file
was saved.

4.8 Measurements
Thickness measurements can be made once the Magna-Mike 8600 is calibrated for a
particular target: ball, disk, or wire. To measure a test piece, simply place the probe tip
on one side of the material, and place the target on the other side near the probe tip.
