There are two methods for programming Custom Scales into
your Ultra Scale Master. “Measured Custom Scales” allow
you to measure a specifi ed Length and assign the known
value. “Entered Custom Scales” allow you to enter and set a
known scale that is not included within the available built-in
scales of the Ultra Scale Master.
One Custom Scale can be stored in Imperial and Metric
Modes for a total of two Custom Scales. Once a Custom
Scale has been set in either mode, it is retained until a new
scale is stored in its place or until an All Clear or Reset is
performed. Switching between Imperial and Metric Modes
does not clear stored Custom Scales.
