Description
Calibration method for measurement on smooth substrates using
both zero and a user defined foil thickness
Calibration method for measurement on roughened substrates using
two known foil thicknesses
Calibration method for measurement on non-standard substrates
using two known foil thicknesses
Calibration method for measurement when the substrate roughness
is unknown. A user defined offset is applied to the gauge to provide
a close estimate of the unknown profile
As 2-point calibration but according to the annex of ISO 19840
As Zero Offset but where 'user defined offset' is calculated as 1/3 of
the known profile
