6.8 Angle

measurements

This function allows to measure an angle in relation to a reference surface (measuring plate). To perform
this measurement, a parallel bar and a gauge block are needed.

1. Activate the corresponding mode by pressing the

key.

2. Perform the first measurement using the parallel bar (1)

and the gauge block (2) as indicated on the screen.

3. Perform the second measurement with the parallel bar

as indicated on the screen (remove the gauge block).

4. Remove the parallel bar and take a measurement on the

reference plate.

5. The last necessary value is the one of the gauge block

(2).

Note:
The height of the gauge block can be stored in the
parameter set-up of the instrument (see § 8). Than, the
measurement of step 5 is not necessary.

6. The value of the angle is displayed and stored in the

buffer (ANG). A new angle measurement can be than
performed.

Note:
The angle values can be displayed in three different unit
types:
1. Decimal degrees (x.x°)
2. Degrees, minutes, seconds (x° x' x")
3. Radians (rad)
The selected angle unit type is indicated above the
current measured value. To change the angle unit, refer
to § 8.
