SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
Expansion/contraction
coefficient setting
This function multiplies the actual counter
measurements by a constant factor. This is useful in, for
example, mold manufacture by allowing the mold to be
machined to the actual molded component dimensions
directly, without having to increase the machining
dimensions manually to allow for material shrinkage
after molding. Tedious work can thus be reduced and
the risk of mistakes in calculation eliminated.
Memory backup
The backup battery ensures the most recent display
value is retained even when the counter is off.
Lower digit blanking out
Unnecessary lower digits (up to 9 digits of the lowest
digits) can be blanked out.
Absolute/incremental
coordinate system switching
For each axis, the measured value can be obtained in
EITHER¬ABSOLUTE¬!"3¬OR¬INCREMENTAL¬).# ¬COORDINATES¬
This function is useful, for example, if the following
operation is performed. Set the datum point for a
workpiece in the absolute mode. Then, after performing
zero setting, presetting, etc., in the incremental mode,
return to the absolute mode. In this way the absolute
distance from the datum point can be easily displayed.
1/2 calculation
This function halves the display value.

Measurement direction
setting
The measurement direction can be selected.
Resolution setting
The most suitable resolution can be selected to meet
measuring applications. Available resolutions depend
upon the counter to be used.
Preset
This function allows the user to enter a numeric value
on the counter display. Any preset value can be retrieved
whenever necessary.

Linearity error compensation
Machine errors caused due to workpiece weight,
inaccurate table adjustment, etc., are linearly
compensated to reduce the positioning error.
