French term or phrase: empreinte
I'm translating a manual for software used to control a diamond penetrator and there are a couple of terms I'm not confident enough to translate well. Any help would be greatly appreciated:

2.1 Principe de fonctionnement (voir vue d’ensemble p. 7)
La charge est donnée par une masse qui sera soulevée lors de la prise d’empreinte. Ce principe que l’on retrouve dans de nombreux microduromètres ou duromètres, présente l’avantage d’être simple et d’assurer une stabilité parfaite de la charge.
