Measuring parameter/Load (see 6.2.3) to reload them.
After power-up, the alphaDUR mini restores the measuring parameter which
were last used.

5.3 Measuring procedure

To take a measurement, put the probe vertically onto the specimen and press it
down steadily as far as it will go. The hardness value will be determined shortly
before the protective sleeve touches the surface of the specimen. Therefore
vibrations caused by the protective sleeve hitting the surface will not influence
the measurement result. The measurement is completed when you hear the
beep. The number of fractional digits shown depends on the hardness scale.
Rockwell scales will usually be displayed with 1 fractional digit, Vickers, Brinell
and tensile strength without any fractional digits.
Within certain boundaries, the speed with which the probe is pressed down has
no influence on the measurement result. If the probe is lowered too fast or if the
probe is not raised from the specimen for some time, an error message will be
shown.
