Key Functions for standard operation 
ON/OFF KEY 
Momentarily  press the ON/OFF key to turn  DRO off then momentarily  press it 
again to turn it back on.  The Firmware version is displayed for two seconds at 
power-on. 
UNITS KEY 
Momentarily  depressing  the  UNITS  key  will  display  measurement/position 
information in inches, fractions or millimeters (or centimeters).  With each key 
press, the  DRO will  cycle  through decimal  inches, fractions (16ths, 32nds, 
64ths)  and  millimeters  (or  centimeters).  To  limit  the  modes  that  may  be 
displayed by depressing the UNITS key See Programming Parameter (Pr11). 
When the DRO is in 1/16 or 1/32 inch fraction mode, a series of “bars” in the 
upper right corner of the LCD, each  representing 1/64th of  an inch, may 
appear.    (ie. When  in  1/16 inch mode  and  three  bars  are  showing,  the 
measurement  displayed  is  rounded  down  to  the  closest  1/16  inch  and  each 
illuminated  bar  indicates  an  additional  1/64  of  an  inch  of  additional 
measurement.) For better resolution, switch to 1/32 or 1/64 mode. For the best 
resolution switch to a decimal mode. 
When the measurement is greater than 99 63/64 inches, a +100
+100+100
+100 and/or +200
+200+200
+200 
will illuminate in the upper right portion of the display to indicate this amount 
must  be  added  to  the  displayed  reading.  ie:  If  the  measurement  is  154  5/8 
inches, 54 5/8 and +100
+100+100
+100 will be illuminated on the display. If the measurement 
is  -307  23/64  inches,  -  7  23/64,  +100
+100+100
+100  and  +200
+200+200
+200  will  be  illuminated  on  the 
display.
