Averages - Specifies the number of measurements to average together to reduce random measurement noise. Averaging increases measurement time.

Auto Focus - Select the check box to perform auto focus before each measurement. The Auto Focus function is useful when the surface of the part being measured does not fall within the current scan range of the sensor. Auto focus will automatically scan at faster rate (depending on the controls) over a longer distance in Z (depending on the controls) to find the surface of the part, then move the sensor head so that the part surface is nominally centered in the middle of the sensor's scan range.

Auto Tilt - Select the check box to perform auto tilt before each measurement.
