1.4.2 Ball Diameter Setup
The height is calculated using the distance moved by the bottom surface of the ball attached to the tip
of the probe. (See the left gure below.)
However, when measuring by making contact with the top of the ball, the height will be measured by
adding the diameter of the ball to the distance moved by the bottom of the ball. (See the right gure
below.)

The diameter of the ball must be set in advance. The following procedure explains how to measure
the diameter of the ball using the provided ball diameter calibration block. This procedure is neces-
sary if you are using the product for the rst time or if you are replacing the probe.
Tips
If using a gauge block, use one with a height of 20 mm or more.
