measurement

 one can end a U-value measuring process (see step 7).

To demount the heat flux sensors a few important things should be considered (also see figure 6): 

-

 

Only pull at the strips of the adhesive tape in direction of the tape itself. 

-

 

DO NOT pull at the cable. 

-

 

Do NOT pull at the strips perpendicular to the wall. 

Be careful when  removing the tape, since the  tape can damage the wall when removing it too  fast or 
wrong.

Every stopped measurement will automatically be saved on your computer under C:\Users\<User>\Documents\greenTEG\data 

as an .msr-file.
