a check done on an E-Meter which helps to estimate the state of a person's case. The meter check consists of setting up the E-Meter and handing the cans to the person being given the check. No questions are asked and the person is not informed of E-Meter readings. The Meter Checker records the position of the tone arm, the state of the needle and the person's attitude and that is all. When done, he tells the person, "Thank you." The tests go here to be marked but the person then goes to the waiting room for evaluation and is called for a meter check.
