  • Page 21: Performing An Adjustment

    FSC1/7 and FSC1000 Operation 5.5.4 Performing an Adjustment Only use undamaged calibration foils. Contamination, bends or damage within the black circle will lead to incorrect results. Only use the foil within the black circle for the adjustment. Foils are also available with a certificate.
  • Page 22 FSC1/7 and FSC1000 Operation Depending on the setup configuration, press the button on the sen- sor or keys 1 to 3 on the controller. The measurement will start appr. 300 ms after you release the button. Then enter the thickness of the calibration foil in the Thickness field in micrometers as an integer.
  • Page 23 FSC1/7 and FSC1000 Operation Carry out this sequence with as many calibration foils as necessary and use the same position on the sub- strate to the extent possible. Stack the calibration foils if necessary. If information was entered for the parameters Measure count, Measure delay and Max delta in the setup, these settings will also be used for the adjustment.
