PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a diagnostic method for an apparatus that measures at least one parameter of a textile sample, as well as an operational method for a textile measuring apparatus and a textile measuring apparatus.SOLUTION: In a diagnostic method for an apparatus, at least one parameter of a textile sample is measured (202) by the apparatus. Result of measurement (202) is compared (203) with a target value, which is specific to the sample to be measured and is independent of measurement by other such apparatuses. From the comparison (203), a state of the apparatus is inferred, for example a degree of contamination. Contamination of the apparatus is detected automatically and reliably. There is no need for periodic and preventive cleaning of the apparatus. In contrast, if the apparatus is heavily contaminated, a warning (204) is issued, and thus the apparatus can be cleaned appropriately (205).SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 |
