Spectro LFP RT - Operating Manual

4.2 The auto-position feature

The instrument is capable of automatically finding the position of the
sample to be measured.
When you insert a target for measurement, the instrument needs to
know where the patches are located. This is automatically determioned
by scanning some special border lines (auto-position lines):
Please verify when inserting the target into the sample holder (specially
in transmission), that the space before the auto-position line is visible
and not covered by the sample holder or tape.

4.3 Measuring modes

The Spectro LFP RT supports three measuring modes:
1. Up-Down mode
In up-down mode the measuring head of the instrument moves up and
down between each measurement. Use this mode for sensitive materi-
als to avoid any scratches on the surface of the target.
2. Fast (default) mode
Fast measuring mode is the default mode of the Spectro LFP RT. In this
mode the measuring head lies on the target and the surface is scanned.
3. Contactless mode
The contactless mode is similar to the above fast mode with a difference
that the measuring head does not touch the surface of the target. This
measuring mode is suitable for sticky and sensitive materials.
