The End of the scan

The scan will stop at the press of the FREEZE key. If in the Test menu, pressing STOP will end the scan. In
ENCODED or TIMED clock mode when the data buffer is full, the scan will stop automatically.

The VIEW WINDOW is AS ACQUIRED and the SCROLL POS is set to the end of the scan (minus the image width).

The position cursors (C1 POS and C2 POS) are set at the same position—in the middle of the data that is on screen.

The beam cursors (C1 BEAM and C2 BEAM) are set on the same beam--the selected beam of the scan.

To Review all Data and Size Defects

1. Select the VIEW menu and change VIEW WINDOW to VIEW ALL.
2. To size a defect, return to CURSORS menu and set C1 POS and C2 POS at each end of the defect.
3. To make sure the cursors are positioned exactly, change VIEW WINDOW to AS ACQUIRED.
4. The instrument automatically sets the SCROLL POS so that the C1 POS cursor will appear centered on the image.
5. To make a fine adjustment of C1 POS, place the cursor at the edge of the defect.
6. If the other end of the defect (the C2 POS end) is off screen, go to the VIEW menu and adjust SCROLL POS to
scroll to the other end of the defect where C2 POS is located.
7. Make the fine adjustment of C2 POS necessary to place the cursor at the edge of the defect.

Alternative Defect Sizing Approach

Use this technique if the end of the defect is on screen at the end of the scan.

1. Position the C2 POS cursor at the end of the defect on the screen.
2. Position C1 POS cursor at the start of the defect by moving the cursor toward the start of the data. If the start of the
defect is off-screen, the data window will scroll with the movement of the cursor.
