cell cursor to the desired storage location.

Note: Since this is the 1

verification following the initial measurement of

the Probe Zero Cal Bars, the cursor should be located on a cal standard in

column B. It’s also important to note that the L-REF stored in column A,

also contains all the MINI-MAX settings when the L-REF was initially

measured. These settings will automatically be copied to all the

columns B-ZZ, for each individual bolt. Therefore, no adjustments to

the MINI-MAX should be necessary.

Spec”, proceed to the next step.

11) Assuming the elongation is “Out of Spec”, Press the MEAS key once to

activate the measure menu items. Press the MEAS key multiple times

to move right and the ESC key multiple times to move left, until the

TEMP cell is highlighted.
