Selecting Single or Multiple Items
Many settings and modes allow you to select single or multiple
items from a list or from a menu. Lists can be found in every
type of screen: menus, editors, or mode screens.
To select a single item from a list:
1. Use the Tab keys $@ to highlight the desired item in the list.
2. Press the Enter key # to save your selection (and return to
the previous screen).
To select multiple items from a list:
1. Use the Tab keys $@ to highlight the first item in the list.
2. Press the Enter key # to toggle an arrow (>) on or off for
the item (an arrow indicates on).
3. Use the Tab keys $@ to move the highlight to the next item
in the list and press the Enter key # to set status.
4. Press the Escape key ! to return to the previous screen.
Important Measurement Techniques
In order for the instrument to obtain accurate and repeatable
measurements, the bottom of the shoe must be flat with the
surface to be measured. When measuring curved items where a
flat surface is not available, a fixture should be used. A fixture
allows accurate positioning of the sample tangent to the
measurement plane. If the item to be measured is smaller than
the shoe, you may want to make a platform—at the same height
as the item—for the rest of the instrument to sit on. The
instrument can also be used with the shoe fully extended 180°
from the closed position. A measurement is then activated
using the Read key.
Instrument Indicator Light
The LED located next to the instrument display illuminates
various color conditions during measurements.
• Flashing Amber – instrument calibration is required or
measurement aborted.
• Solid Amber – measurement is taking place.
• Solid Green – measurement passed tolerancing
requirement in QA mode.
• Solid Red – measurement failed tolerancing requirements
in QA mode.
