The LS201 supports both Chinese and English display modes. Refer to the user manual or on-screen prompts for instructions on how to switch between languages, typically by navigating through the settings menu using the Select button.

5.3 Basic Measurement Procedure

To measure glass thickness:

1. Ensure the meter is powered on.
2. Place the meter flat against the glass surface you wish to measure. Ensure the measurement sensor is in full contact with the glass.
3. Press the Measure button. The device will automatically detect the glass layers and air gaps.
4. Read the thickness values displayed on the screen. The display will typically show "Glass1", "Air1", "Glass2", etc., indicating the thickness of each glass layer and the air gap between them.
