3.3 Setting the unit of measurement
Tolerances are usually set for workpiece mea-
surements and deviations using a specific unit of
measurement. To simplify checking, it is recom-
mended that this specific unit of measurement is
also used to display measured values. Workpiece
measurements and deviations can be depicted
on the Millimar in the following units of mea-
surement: millimeters, micrometers or inches.
The unit of measurement can be selected when
commissioning the instrument (see Chapter
“Initial commissioning”). However, the unit se-
lected during this procedure can by changed at
any point. To do this:
1. Press the MENU key when the standard
display elements are shown. The catalog of
functions and parameters is opened and the
setting “FEATURE (1)” is displayed.
2. Use the DATA and MASTER keys to select
the setting “SETTING (4)”.
3. Press MENU again. The setting “DISPLAY
(4.1)” is displayed.
4. Use the DATA and MASTER keys to select
the setting “UNIT (4.4)”.
5. Press MENU again. The current unit of mea-
surement flashes.
6. Use the DATA and MASTER keys to select
the new unit of measurement (MM, INCH or
MICRON)
7. Press START. The selected unit of measure-
ment flashes.
8. Press START again to adopt the flashing unit
of measurement. The display then returns
to the catalog of functions and parameters
item “UNIT (4.4)”.
If at this point either the DATA
or MASTER key is pressed in-
stead of START, the display
returns to the unit of measure-
ment selection list (cf. point 6).
The unit of measurement can
be changed again.
9. If no further settings are to be made in the
catalog of functions and parameters, press
the START key. The standard display ele-
ments appear. The selected measuring unit
is indicated in the bottom line of the display
as mm, µm or inch.
If further settings are necessary, navigate
to the appropriate point of the catalog of
functions and parameters using the ESC,
MASTER, DATA and MENU keys and carry
out the settings as required.
