The LFM probes (shown in
deflection of the indenter shaft relative to its normal position. As shown
in Figure F-3, K represents the stiffness of the spring that supports the
L
shaft. The forces exerted in the directions of each of the probes are
calculated according to the formulas in the schematic.

by LFM probes
The X and Y deflection values are stored in the _XDeflection and
_YDeflection channels. The resolved forces are stored in the _XForce
and _YForce channels.
