Operating Modes

Operating Modes
The interferoMETER measuring system provides highly
accurate measurements of
- distances against visually dense materials with
light-diffusing or reflective surfaces
- thicknesses for transparent layer materials.
By selecting the sensor, the distance or thickness mea-
surement operating mode is selected.
Accordingly, the result of the measurement is a distance
or thickness value.
Distance
measurements
Measuring range 2.1 mm
Measuring ranges for distance and thickness measure-
ments
The possible resolution here is in the nanometer range.
For a quick start, we recommend to use presets defined
for different target surfaces and applications, see operat-
ing instructions Chap. 6.6.
1) Measuring range with n=1.5; for air gap measure-
ment between two glass plates (n~1) the measuring
range is 0.05 ... 2.1 mm. The measurement object
must be within the working distance.
