Edit the settings for the indenter approach to match those shown in

Figure 6-18.
Figure 6-18Settings for indenter approach
The indenter begins "looking" for the surface at a distance above the
surface, as determined by the practice indentation, set by the Surface
Approach Distance. The rate at which the indenter approaches the
surface is given by the Surface Approach Velocity. The Surface Detect
Stiffness Criteria sets the criteria that the indenter uses to decide
whether it has contacted the test surface. A lower value causes more
sensitive surface detection but increases the likelihood of false detection
(and vice versa).
