OFFSETS
An offset is applied to measurements taken in any memory location. Its purpose
is to be subtracted from any reading taken there. If a non-zero offset is stored, it
will flash in the main display and “OF” will show in the upper left of the display
when entering any memory location. In this case see both of the Method 2’s
below to accept or clear this offset otherwise, see both Method 1’s below.
How to Enter an Offset
Method 1
1. Press the “٭” key. The main display will be cleared and “OP” will show in
the upper left of the display.
2. Press the ZERO/UNITS key. The “OP” will change to “OF”. The current
offset or 0.000 will be displayed.
3. Enter the value of the offset using the numerical keys or advance to the
next step.
4. Press the ENTER key to save the value and activate the offset. The unit
reverts to the measurement mode.
Method 2
1. If a non-zero offset is stored, it will flash in the main display and “OF” will
show in the upper left of the display when entering any memory location.
2. To take readings with this offset, press the ENTER key. The unit will
revert to the measurement mode.
How to Clear an Offset
Method 1
1. Press the “٭” key. The main display will be cleared and “OP” will show in
the upper left of the display.
2. Press the ZERO/UNITS key. The “OP” will change to “OF”. The current
offset or 0.000 will be displayed.
3. Press “0”.
4. Press the ENTER key. The offset will be removed (i.e. it is zero). The unit
will revert to the measurement mode.
Method 2
1. If a non-zero offset is stored, it will flash in the main display and “OF” will
show in the upper left of the display when entering any memory location.
2. To clear this offset, press the CLEAR key. 0.000 will momentarily display.
The offset will be removed. The unit will revert to the measurement mode.
LIMITS
Limits can be entered into the 233 gage to provide an indication that a reading
exceeds a high or low thickness specification. When a reading is taken in the
Regular Mode that falls outside of the limits, there will be a long beep and the
word “HI” or “LO”, as appropriate, will show in the upper left of the display. The
limits apply only to the memory location that is in use when the limits are entered.
Each memory location can have its own set of limits.
