IN/MM KEY
The compact readout can display measurement/position information in
inches, fractions or millimeters. To change the display mode, momentarily
press the IN/MM key. Each key press causes the readout to cycle to the next
mode, or unit of measurement: decimal inches, fractions 16ths, fractions
32nds, fractions 64ths and millimeters.
When the readout is in 1/16 or 1/32 inch fraction mode, a series of “bars” in
the upper right corner of the display, each representing 1/64th of an inch,
may appear. (i.e. When in 1/16 inch mode and three bars are showing, the
measurement displayed is rounded down to closest 1/16 inch and each
illuminated bar would then indicate an additional 1/64 of an inch additional
measurement.)
For better measurement precision, switch to 1/32 or 1/64 mode. For the best
precision select a decimal mode (in or mm) for measurements.
+ AND - KEYS
Momentarily pressing the + or - key increments or decrements the currently
displayed value by one unit of measurement.
Pressing and holding the + or - key will cause the displayed value to change
continuously. Continue pressing the key to cause the amount of change to
speed up. This allows for quick adjustments over a large range of values.
These keys may be locked out to prevent accidental offset entries.
