Measurement In the place where you want to measure, you must assembly the tripod and the probes necessary for the measurement. You set the instrument up and then you start measuring. If the measurement has to be done in other places, you have to move all the equipment in the new measurement position. At the end of the measurement or after some times, the acquired data are transferred to the PC for the elaboration and to allow writing the measurement report/s.
