Control Command Description
FURNACE Toggles between the furnace closed (up) and furnace open (down) functions,
depending on where the furnace is when you press the key. This key can be
pressed while the furnace is moving, to reverse the direction of movement.
ZERO LENGTH Initializes the automeasure system. This operation should be performed before
a sample is loaded and any time the probe or stage is changed.
PROBE UP Used to “open” the probe, this key raises the probe 3 mm, the range of the LVDT,
when pressed one time. When the key is pressed a second time, mechanical
action occurs, moving the probe and LVDT coil to their maximum upward
position.
If the probe is moving down and PROBE UP is pushed, the probe will stop and
reverse its direction.
