Are you looking for a device to measure thickness on individual holes? O
overall through hole plating. The CMI device is very accurate at measuring
hole wall copper thickness.

Yes, it has hole size limitaitons but it's not the actual hole you are
measuring, right? You might consider adding a few probe holes around the
panel, the CMI unit works great in that way.
