3.7 Measurement Averaging Procedure
When averaging is activated in setup, averaging operation will occur on absolute
measurements, reference entry measurements, and difference measurements.
There are two averaging methods that are used: (refer Sec. 5.1 to activate
averaging):
• SAMPLES AVERAGED - allows you to enter the number of measurements you
will make (1-99) at various locations on a sample, to obtain an average value.
• SUB AVERAGE - allows you to enter the number of measurements the unit
will take (1-6) on a sample at a single location, to obtain an average value.
> When average and sub average are set to one, no averaging is performed and no
averaging messages will be displayed.
The following example was taken in the absolute measurement mode using: XYZ
function, two sub averages, and two measurement averages.
1) Press [FUNCTION] to select XYZ
measurement space.
2) Center the target window over first
area on the sample to be measured.
3) Lower unit to target window and
