instantly. A light beside the key reminds you which measurement you are using.
Selecting inch or millimetre display applies to all dimensions. For example, if you are in millimetre display,
whenever you enter dimensions you should also use millimeters.
When you switch on the DP8, it will display in the same unit of measurement that you set when you last
used the unit.
Datahold allows you to disable the DP8 display/keypad but retain power to the measurement transducers

Zero approach is an indicator to the operator that the machine position is approaching a user definable posi-
tion on the component. Section 3.3 (r) details the procedure for setting the approach warning window.
When ever any axis display is less than (or equal to) the defined window, then a flashing '0' appears at the
left of that axis display. As the axis moves closer to the zero position the flash rate increases. When the axis
is closer than 0.05mm (0.002”) to zero the “0” stops flashing and remains lit.
6.0 MILL FUNCTIONS
The DP8 Mill calculates positions for a series of equally spaced holes around the circumference of a circle or
an arc. The message display prompts the user for various parameters it needs to do the calculations. Once
the DP8 Mill completes the calculations, the axis displays show the distance to each hole. The operator
works to Zero for each hole location.
