MEASUREMENT
After switching the alphaDUR mini on, the last used combination of
measurement is always parameters active.

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. Within certain boundaries, the lowering speed has no impact on the
measured values. If the test load has been applied too quickly or if the probe is
not raised from the specimen for some time, an error message will be shown.
