The Radius/Diameter function allows the operator to
display actual (radius) or twice-actual (diameter) measure-
ments for each axis. This function is generally used in
turning applications, such as the cross travel on a lathe.

The Resolution function allows the operator to determine
the resolution for each axis.
SEL. AXIS
Options: 0.001mm (0.00005 )
0.002mm (0.0001 )
0.005mm (0.0002 )
0.010mm (0.0005 )
0.020mm (0.002 )
0.050mm (0.005 )
RESOLUTION
Toggle between Radius and Diameter using
the (AXIS) keys and select desired mode
with [ENT]
Scroll through available options for each
axis using the (AXIS) key, once all axes
read the desired resolution, select with
[ENT]

Direction allows the operator to change the direction of
travel for each axis. Changing the setting will reverse the
current direction.
EXAMPLE:
If the current setting is 0 and the travel is positive from
right to left, changing the setting to 1 will reverse the
direction to measure positive from left to right.

IMPORTANT:
The Resolution available for each axis depends upon the
I/P (Input) Type established for that axis.
IMPORTANT:
The 0.001 mm (0.00005") resolution is only available
in Radius mode.

Linear Error Compensation allows the operator to apply a
constant correction factor to all measurements displayed.
Linear error may occur if the axis of the machine is not
running perfectly parallel to the scale (cosine error) or if the
machine is moving in an arc (Abbé errors). The causes
may be:
1. Machine wear.
2. Deflection of the machine due to weight acting on an
overhanging section.
3. Misalignment of the scale due to poor installation.
