3. Allmeasurementstakensubsequentlywillberelativetothereferencevalue.For

example,ifthereferencevalueis‘10’(representingthedriestareaofthematerialunder

test)andameasurementof‘50’istaken(inanareawithhigher

moisturecontent),the

measurementlinewillshow‘40’(50–10=40).Asimplied,thismodeisusefulfor

comparingwetareastoadryareareference.

4. Toremovethereferencevalueandexitthemode:Removethemetersensorfromthe
