Claim 14:
15. A method for performing measurements on a medium contained in a vessel, the method including the steps of:
providing the measurement apparatus of claim 8;
moving the mounting fixture and a vessel into a measurement position relative to each other such that the contact face of the end sensor is held in alignment against a surface of the vessel by a pressing force, and such that the coupling member mediates transfer of the pressing force from the mounting fixture to the cable and thence to the end sensor, the coupling member deforming under the pressing force such that the cable can flex to tilt the end sensor relative to the surface of the vessel to accommodate misalignment of the contact face and the surface of the vessel; and
using the aligned contact face to sense a characteristic of the medium contained in the vessel.
