3.4 MeasurementModes
The instrument has the five measurement modes described below (see page 5.).
3.4.1 Normal Mode
This mode is used for normal measurement, and to select the other modes.
• Press and hold the [MODE] key for 2 seconds or longer to return to the normal
mode from any of the instrument’s other measurement modes.
NOTE
To set the origin, switch between + and -, set tolerance limits, or select a new
measurement mode, you must return to the normal mode.
3.4.2 Tolerance Mode
3.4.2.1 Checking and Setting Tolerance Limits
Tolerance mode is used to check and set the tolerance limits. Note that the tolerance limits
must be set separately for the ABS system and the INC system.
• Press the [MODE] key once in the normal mode. "<0>" blinks in the display.
• Press the [PRESET/SET] key to check the tolerance upper limit setting. The
previously set upper limit appears with a blinking ">" sign.
• To change the upper limit setting, press the [SET] key, and use the same
procedure used to set the origin.
• When the new value has been set (">" blinks), press the [SET] key quickly to check
the tolerance lower limit setting. The previously set lower limit appears with a
blinking "<" sign. Change the setting by the same procedure used to change the
upper limit setting.
• When both limits have been set correctly, give the [SET] key short press to enter
tolerance determination mode.
3.4.2.2 Tolerance Determination
If the current measurement value deviates from the range of the tolerance limits set in the
previous section, the back lights red as a warning.
• When the tolerance limits have been checked by the procedure in the previous
section, the instrument starts tolerance determination straight away.
NOTE
There is no tolerance determination function for max./ min. hold and TIR measurement
values.
To change the setting of the tolerance limits, first return to the normal mode and then
switch to tolerance mode again.
