DISPLAYED MEASUREMENT UNITS
The measurement units displayed on the Readout when the UNITS key is
depressed is user configurable. The table below provides a matrix for selecting
which units will be displayed (based on the value entered in programming
parameter Pr11).
See Programming Parameter (Pr11).
Programming Parameter Pr 11 Value Measurement Units Displayed
0
All inch units, metric in millimeters
1
Millimeters only
2
Decimal inches and millimeters
3
Decimal inches and centimeters
4
All inch units, metric in centimeters
5
Centimeters only
6
Decimal inches only
AUTO ON/OFF
In order to prolong battery life, the Digital Readout has a built-in function that
will turn off the LCD after a period of no encoder movement or key activity. This
function does NOT turn off power to the encoder so the system will not lose its
position. Auto shutoff is programmable from 0 (always on), to 240 minutes
before going into sleep mode. Press the ON/OFF key or move the scale to wake
up the DRO. Any key press or encoder motion while the DRO is not in sleep
mode will restart the auto shutoff timer.
The default time period before the LCD turns off is 15 minutes. This time
period may be changed, or completely disabled through programming.
See Programming Parameter (Pr12).
LINEAR SCALING
All LCD Digital Readouts have the ability to “scale” the actual measurement.
This function is useful when the actual measurement must be multiplied or
divided before being displayed. Care should be taken when using this function
since invoking it will cause the unit to display a reading different than the actual
measured value.
This function has a range of: 0.0001 to 99.9999 allowing the actual measured
value to be multiplied or divided in very small or very large increments.
See Programming Parameter (Pr13).
