4. Move the focused bucket tip to the starting point of the measurement, and press
Origin.
5. Without rotating or moving the machine, move the bucket focus to the end point
of the measurement.
As shown below, once the bucket has moved enough to give a measurable
change in position, the display changes to show the start point as a green mark
and the current position of the bucket focus as a red mark on the bucket icon. In
addition, a straight red line is drawn between the start and end points, and the
Save Slope softkey appears.
6. With the focused bucket tip at the end point, record the measured values
displayed. If required, press Save Slope to save the measured value of the slope
into a slope memory. The slope is automatically assigned the next available
name.
7.
To exit, press \ or =.
Note – If you saved the slope value to a slope memory, and exit from the
Measure Mode dialog by pressing =, the slope value will still be held in
memory.
8. If you had a slope selected for your model, and you saved the measured slope
to memory, the new slope will be automatically selected for use in the model.
