6. OPERATION DESCRIPTION
As long as the system reset is not performed, the following three
parameters will be held in memory even with the power switched
off.
1. inch mm selection
2. Preset setting value
3. / direction
When the power is switched ON, the normal function will be se-
lected automatically. This normal function is used as the basis
for switching to the absolute zero function or preset function.
(1) Normal function
The normal function is the basic measurement function. Note
that switching of direction and switching between units (inch/mm)
are possible only in this mode. It is possible to press the reset
switch (for less than two seconds) and release it to set the dis-
play value at the time the switch is released to zero. When this is
done, the output is “no data” when the reset switch is pressed
and the display is blank, and is “0” when the reset switch is re-
leased and the display changes to “0”.
During measurement, if “E” appears, set the power to OFF to
cancel “E”, switch power ON and begin measurements once
again. Since the spindle response speed is fast (500mm s), the
“E” hardly ever appears.
Each time the mode switch is pressed (for less than two sec-
onds), the sequence NORMAL → MAX → MIN → R will be
switched through. If the R mode is selected, the maximum and
minimum value are internally registered in accordance with the
up/down movement of spindle, with the range value displayed
continuously. The MAX, MIN, R mode initial value is the value
displayed when the MAX mode was switched to from the normal
mode. Once the value is set, it is held in memory as long as the
reset switch is not pressed (for less than two seconds) and re-
leased. If the initial value requires resetting, perform a reset op-
eration. When doing this, the previous initial value is cancelled
and the value displayed at the time the maximum mode is se-
lected from the normal mode will be set at the new initial value.
The data output when a reset is performed is “no data” when the
