Initial Set-up

In most instances the initial parameters such as a reference point, measurement units
and resolution will be factory set for your ProPanel System.

Measurement Units:

The measurement units that are displayed (inch, mm, cm) are

selected with the

Key.

Current Position:

The Readout allows the current position to be easily configured,

using the +, - and (optionally)

Key.

Reference Point:

The Readout allows a reference point (zero or other value) to be

easily recalled using the DATUM Key. The value of this reference point is
programmed at Programming Parameter

..

Reading Direction: The direction, of the reading as the measurement system is moved
is programmed using Programming Parameter

Resolution: The resolution of the displayed units is programmed using Programming
Parameter

Pr4
