d) reversing the measuring direction:
The measuring direction is indicated by the arrow preceding the Channel number. An up arrow indicates that the mea-
surement value increases when the probe moves against inside (so when it is vertical, the arrow will indicate a positive
measurement direction).
1/ press
2/ then
The arrow preceding the channel number changes its direction.
To reverse the direction, repeat the sequence.
e) radius/diameter mode, multiplication factor or measure on V base:
Allows the introduction of any multiplication factor for one probe or for combination A+/-B or A+/-B+/-C (e.g. calibration
of each channel and its probe).
1/ press
2/ then
(* represents multiplication factor)
Special cases:
factor = 1 —> normal mode, no coefficient
factor 2 —> diameter mode (read value will be twice the measured value)
factor 0 —> the factor will be calculated automatically (for measurements on a V base with any
angle), or calibration of one channel according to gauge block.
The calibration on V or on pad should be made as follows:
1/ choose option 0
2/ put a calibrated rod on V base or a gauge block and enter its value using keyboard, or set
probe to reference 1
3/ put a second calibrated rod on the V base or a gauge block and enter its value, or place probe
on reference pad and enter its value
4/ the unit will calculate the multiplication factor or scale correction factor automatically (this fac-
tor can be displayed pressing Channel twice). You can start with either the smaller or the big-
ger gauge.
As soon as a multiplication factor has been introduced, a * will be shown on the display (just before the arrow). In dia-
meter mode, the diameter sign will be shown.
When in diameter mode, a channel cannot work in A+/-B or A+/-B+/-C mode. A P50 (50 mm) probe in diameter mode
cannot work with a resolution greater than 0.1 µm.
f) (A+/-B) (A+/-B+/-C) measuring mode (any 2 or 3 channels may be combined):
1/ press
2/ select channel number A (1-64)
3/ press
key once for A+B, twice for A-B, and once again if you wish to return to A+B, etc.
4/ select channel number B (1-64)
