Overview

Measurements viewed on the front panel LCD can be transmitted
to an IBM-compatible personal computer over a standard parallel
port connection, or to a printer over a parallel or serial port.
Sequences of keypresses used to perform measurements can be
recorded and stored as programs. These programs can be re-
played later to perform complete measurement sequences. Se-
quences can be as simple as measuring a line, or can be expanded
to include skew adjustment, the measurement of multiple fea-
tures and printing reports of measurement results.

An optional foot switch and remote keypad are available for fea-
ture-point and numeric data entry when the user is not close to
the front panel.
