of readings selected. If your last reading was #15, selecting 3 would average
readings #13, 14, and 15. The average is calculated, displayed, and stored
into memory as the next sequential reading number.
The range number is selected using a virtual keypad on your analyzer similar
to the keypad used for login. Select the digits in the range number from the
keypad, then select the "E" key to enter the number. "C" will clear all, and
"<" will clear the last digit entered. The average will automatically be
displayed.

Note You cannot average readings taken with different element lists - or with
different filter settings if the settings have different element lists - with either
Avg Back or Avg Forward. Alloy and Mining modes each use the same
element lists with the different filter settings, so averaging works when
switching between filter settings when in either of these modes. Thin Film
and Bulk modes both use different element lists for different filter settings,
and readings with different filter settings cannot be averaged when using
either of these modes. You can never average readings taken in different
modes.
Note The Tools Menu is only available when viewing readings, and the
menu is only accessible through the touch screen interface or NDTr.
