Introduction
This manual includes installation and Operation for ProScale LCD Digital
Readouts with operating firmware (F/W) of 3.100 or higher. These readouts
may be included as part of a ProScale measuring system or other product such
as
ProTable or ProPanel .
This manual DOES NOT include installation for other Readouts, or ProScale
systems. Please refer to the appropriate
Installation manual for your system.
A typical ProScale measuring system consists of three major parts:
•
SCALE
– an aluminum extrusion to which a printed circuit board with a
unique pattern is bonded.
•
ENCODER
– a readhead
or sensor that traverses the
SCALE
to determine
a position or distance from some arbitrary point of origin.
•
DIGITAL READOUT
– or DRO, is the component that displays the
measurement or position information sent by the
ENCODER
.
The Readouts covered in this Manual are compatible with these SCALES:
