3. I .I4 USING THE CURVE FUNCTION
To use the Curve function, refer to Figure
3-9 and perform the following steps:
1.
Press the [CURVE] key. The Curve lndicator will illuminate and

Repeat the procedure described in Step 2 nine more times, targeting on
P,, through P,,? until ePP appears on the Sub-Display, indicating that
there are no
po~nts remaining to be measured.
The radius
R is calculated and displayed on the X-axis Display. By
pressing the [OTHER] key, the point
Po is displayed.
