Introduction to MICROPAK-2LA
1 .I INTRODUCTION
The MITUTOYO MICROPAK-2LA is designed for the geometric analysis of data
generated by two-dimensional measuring instruments such as profile projectors or
tool-maker's microscopes. The MICROPAK-2LA supports linear scales.
1.2 MICROPAK-2LA FEATURES
Features of the MICROPAK-2LA include:
PolarICartesian function
INCIABS function
Skew function
Distance function
Bisector function
Circle function
Orthogonal function
lntersection of Circle and Line function

Multi-point
(1 0 points) Curve function
Fast and easy storing with the capability of recalling up to
50 sets
of
XI Y coordinate data
High reliability and durability of membrane keys
Capable of interfacing with Edge Sensor System
