3.5 Setting the Approximate Length

In order to utilize the AUTO SET feature of the MINI-MAX, when measuring
reference lengths, the MINI-MAX has to know where to start looking for the
detection. We can accomplish this by entering an approximate length into the
gauge. The MINI-MAX will automatically take the value entered and scan +/- 5%
in both directions of the approximate length for the detection signal. The
approximate length is a very valuable feature that can be used to pin point a
specific detection area. This feature will be further discussed later in the manual.
