3.1.2 Continuously Measuring the Distance from One Specic Point
to Multiple Other Points
Set an arbitrary point as the reference, and proceed to measure the distance continuously from that
point. As an example, the procedure for continuously obtaining the distance between a1 (center height
of circle s1) and a2 (center height of circle s2) shown below with the surface plate set as the reference
is explained.

ABS reference
The following values can be set as the reference.
• Height measurement
• Median value of an inner or outer diameter measurement
• Median, minimum, or maximum value of a plane scanning measurement

Set the reference.
1 Slowly bring the ball of the probe into contact with the surface plate until a beep sound is made.
Maintain contact with the ball.
Tips
• Perform the same operation even if a point other than the height of the surface plate is set as the reference.
(Bring the ball into contact with the point to set as the reference.)
• To set an inner diameter, outer diameter, or plane scanning measurement as the reference, make the ap-
propriate measurement. For details,

the Outer Diameter" (page 25), "2.5 Measuring the Plane Displacement (Plane Scanning Measurement)"
