1.4.1 Origin Setup
Set the origin to use when measuring height. The dimensions measured from this origin will become
the height measurements. This product is compatible with both ABS and INC origins. Use one or the
other based on the application.

ABS origin
This method uses a user-defined value as the origin. When measuring the height from the surface
plate, set the surface plate as the origin point with a value of 0 mm.
Example: The surface plate is set as the origin at 0 mm.

measurement relative
to the surface plate
To use a datum other than the surface plate, assign that value as the origin point.
Example: Surface a1 is set as the origin at 50 mm.
