I could not get a consistent value when trying to measure the same thing over and over again. The variability was up to 5/128 of an inch, which was more than enough to ruin what I needed to do. The amount of error depends on how fast I moved the sensor, what direction I moved it, how much pressure I applied to the baseplate, etc. For my controlled testing, I measured the height of the shim with the setting turned on. smooth flat polished granite countertop.
