5.1
Digimatic Output Function (for DP-1VA LOGGER)
You can print the measurement data by connecting to the Digimatic Mini-Processor (DP-1VA LOG-
GER), which is sold separately.To do this, connect the Digimatic cable to the RS_LINK connector
(OUT) of the counter.
Tips
• A maximum of 6 digits can be printed. When the counter displays the value in 7 or 8 digits, the last 6 digits
will be printed. For example, when "12.34567 mm", which has 7 digits, is output, it will be printed as "2.34567
mm".
• Set the DP-1VA LOGGER to compatible mode.
For details on the setting method and operations, see
"DP-1VA LOGGER Digimatic Mini-Processor
User's Manual".
• When an error occurs, an asterisk is printed.
• If you use an old model instead of the Digimatic Mini-Processor DP-1VA LOGGER, contact your dealer or
the nearest Mitutoyo sales oce.

USB connecting cable is not supplied. You must provide one.
