3.1.1 Determining the Difference Between the Most Recently
Measured Value
Check the difference between the current and previous measurement by observing the value in
the bottom row of the LCD screen. As an example, with the surface plate set as the ABS origin, the
heights of a1, a2, and a3 are measured in that order, and the difference for each measurement can be
checked.

Tips
• For details about ABS origin, "1.4.1 Origin Setup" (page 10)
• For details about measuring height,
"2.1 Measuring the Height" (page 17)
• If an inner diameter, outer diameter, or plane scanning measurement is made, the median
measurement will be used for comparisons. For example, if the inner diameter is measured
sequentially for circles s1 and s2, the difference displayed in the bottom row of the LCD screen will
be calculated using the median values (centers) of circle s1 and s2.
