Unit of measure
The UNITS OF MEASURE form is used to specify the preferred display
units and formats for linear and angular measurements. The ND 287
powers up with these settings in effect.
In the LINEAR field, define the unit of measure for linear
measurement:
In the JOB SETUP menu, select UNITS and press the ENTER key to
open the form.
Use the MM/INCH soft key to switch between MM and INCHES.
This can be performed in either Actual Value or Distance-To-Go
mode.
In the ANGULAR field, define the format and input mode for angles.
Press the ANGLE soft key to switch between DECIMAL DEGREES,
RADIANS and DMS (degrees/minutes/seconds).
The defined unit of measure is shown in the status bar on the standard
screen.
