Taking a Simple Measurement

This chapter describes the various steps performed in the course of normal instrument
operations, such as standardizing, reading, storing and printing data.
Standardization sets the top and bottom-of-scale for the neutral axis. During standardization,
the bottom-of-scale (zero) is set first. This is done by placing the Black Glass at the sample port.
The top-of-scale is then set by reading the calibrated White Tile. Messages on the display
prompt through the standardization process as described below. The time elapsed (in minutes)
since the last standardization is shown in the upper right corner of the screen.
