15.8 Detecting Peak/Bottom Position
In the case you want to use characteristic position in the shape of the measured workpiece
or a position based a the characteristic position as the starting point of measuring, the
stylus tip can be automatically positioned at such a position using the peak position
detection function. Characteristic shapes that can be detected by this function are the
peaks (the highest point of the shape) and bottoms (the lowest point of the shape).
It is also possible to position the stylus at the start point of measurement so that the peak
or the bottom resides at the center of the measurement length.
NOTE
• Set the workpiece, and adjust the height of the stylus so that the stylus touches the
workpiece within a range where it will not go over range.
