• Approach the surface at 90 degrees.
• Approach the surface without changing direction in the last 5 mm.
• Do not drag the probe across the surface.
• Do not probe sharp edge transitions. Note: Many more setup functions are available beyond the minimum parameters discussed here. Refer to the ND 1400 User Guide for detailed instructions. Leveling and aligning the part Perform level and skew alignments to eliminate measurement errors resulting from misaligned parts.

1. Align the part on the stage

Align the reference edge of the part to a measurement axis.

• Press the FINISH button to conclude the probe qualification.

10. Error correction

Linear (LEC), segmented linear (SLEC) and nonlinear (NLEC) error correction methods can be used to compensate for encoder and machine errors. Refer to the ND 1400 User Guide for instructions. Preparing to measure
