1.4.1 Reference Setup
Set the reference to use when measuring height. The dimensions measured from this reference will
become the height measurements. This product supports absolute measurement (ABS) and incre-
mental measurement (INC) for the reference setting. Use the method that matches your application.
y Absolute measurement (ABS) reference
This method uses a user-dened value as the reference. When measuring the height from the
surface plate, set the surface plate as the reference with a value of 0 mm.
Example: The surface plate is set as the reference at 0 mm.
