Typical error messages and solutions
While using MetriXFreight you might run into errors. Here are some solutions for common issues.
MetriX presents measurement related errors in the widget area on the right hand side of the UI, they can usually easily be solved by changing the position of the cargo according to the instructions on the screen. Hardware related errors are presented as full screen messages and completely block the measurement workflow. They usually require manual interactions with the hardware and / or a reboot or power cycle of the system.
Measurement is fluctuating
Solution: The item or the whole system still moves or something is interfering with the measurement. Wait for the movement to stop or eliminate the source of the interference.
Object is unmeasurable
Solution: The object cannot be measured because one or more restrictions (listed in best practice) apply.
Object is undersized
Solution: The object is too small to be measured reliably.
Object is not centered
Solution: Place the object closer to the center of the measurement area.
Object is not correctly orientated
Solution: Rotate the object so that it’s oriented roughly diagonally under the system.
