Functions:
- Preset (ABS Measurement System): The measurement origin can be preset to any value within the display range for convenience in measuring.
- Zero-Setting: (INC Measurement System): The display can be zeroed at any position of the spindle, making comparison measurement easier. Returning to the absolute-measurement mode is easily accomplished.
- Hold: The displayed value is held while the spindle is withdrawn and the micrometer moved so that the display can be read at the operator;s convenience. After cancelling the hold, the instrument returns to the previous measuring mode (absolute or incremental).
- Resolution Switching: The resolution of the display can be switched. If 0.1μm measurement is not required, the resolution can be switched to 0.5μm.
- Function Lock: Functions such as preset or zero-set can be locked to avoid inadvertently changing the origin position.
- On/off: The power can be turned off after measurement is complete. Even after the power is turned off, the origin or last zero-set position remains in the memory.
- Auto Power off: Even if the power is left on, the power turns off automatically if the micrometer is not used within a 20-minute period.
- Measurement Data Output: Measurement data can be output, allowing easy incorporation of this instrument into a statistical process control or measurement system.
- Error Alarm: In the unlikely event of a display overflow or calculation error, an error message is displayed and measurement stops. Measurement cannot continue until the error is corrected.
Also, if the battery voltage drops below a certain point, the battery indicator will turn on before measurement becomes impossible, warning the user that the battery needs to be replaced.
