Mitutoyo MICROPAK-2LA - Using the Angle Function

3.1.8 USING THE ANGLE FUNCTION
To calculate the smaller of the two angles formed by two lines, refer to Figure
3-5
and perform the following steps:
1.
Press the [ANGLE] key. The Angle lndicator will illuminate and P04 will
appear on the Sub-Display, indicating that fourpoints need to be measured.
2.
Move the crosshairs to target on P,,, then press either the [MANUAL IN] key
or the footswitch.
P03 will appear on the Sub-Display, indicating that there
are three points remaining to be measured.
3.
Move the crosshairs to target on P,,, then press either the [MANUAL IN] key
or the footswitch.
P02 will appear on the Sub-Display, indicating that there
are two points remaining to be measured.
4. Move the crosshairs to target on P,,, then press either the [MANUAL IN] key
I
or the footswitch. P01 will appear on the Sub-Display, indicating that there
is one point remaining to be measured.
C
5. Move the crosshairs to target on P,, then either the [MANUAL IN] key
or the footswitch.
POO will appear on the Sub-Display, indicating that there
are no points remaining to be measured.
The angle
0 is then calculated and displayed on the Y-axis display. By
pressing the [OTHER] key, the calculated point
Po is displayed.
6.
If the measuring order is switched to P,,, P,,, P,,, and P,,, the angle
measured is
1 80° - 0. To display the required angLe (01, press the
[180° - @I key.
