Setting INC Position
Momentarily press the ABS/INC button. This switches the display to
incremental mode. Press the ZERO key. Any measurement now taken
will be an incremental measurement. The display can be repeatedly re-
zeroed (for incremental measurements) by pressing the ABS/INC button
for one second. To return to the ABS coordinate system, press the
ABS/INC button for 3 seconds.
Incrementing/Decrementing the Display
The PLUS or MINUS keys on the digital display are used to adjust a
reading. For instance, if the display needs to read greater than its
current value, use the PLUS key. Conversely, to reduce the current
displayed reading, use the MINUS key. This function is used to preset a
value in the system. When the display is in the LOCK mode these keys
will either:
1. No longer function, preventing accidental adjustment of readings, or
2. They will be used for another function (pattern offset in ABS LOCK
mode).
Note: When pressing the PLUS or MINUS keys, the display scrolls
slowly for a couple seconds and then speeds up.
Reverse Scaling
When setting a zero point on ProScale, moving the scale in one direction
will produce positive readings. Moving the scale past zero in the
opposite direction will produce negative readings. Reverse scaling
means changing the orientation so positive readings become negative
and negative readings become positive. To reverse the readings, the
position of JP3 (inside the display) must be changed. See the chart of
Display Options for more information.
Auto Save
When power is turned off, ProScale remembers the current
measurement and current mode of operation. When ProScale is turned
back on, it continues where it left off. It's not necessary to zero the
reading or change the mode. Also, keystrokes are not recognized when
power is off, so accidental keystrokes will not damage the stored
information.
