Operating Scales
You can display measurement lines in the X and Y directions on the screen to measure lengths and also display scales such
as X scale (cross scale), scale, cross hairs (and concentric circles), and grid.

When adding scales to a live image, the image and scales may be misaligned depending on the status of the object.
In this case, use the [FREEZE] button to take a still image and add scales.
Use the [TOOL MENU] for operating scales. You can perform the following operations.

XY Measurement Operation
XY measurement display
•
The XY measurement values are coupled with unit and calibration settings. If you change the settings, location of
measurement lines does not change but values of measured results are updated.
•
The width of XY measurement lines and character size of the dimension can be changed on the [TOOL SET:
MAIN] screen.
•
The ON/OFF setting of the XY measurement remains when the power is turned off. If you turn the power off with
the XY measurement being displayed, it appears automatically when you turn the power on again.
•
When stylus operation is not easy or accurate positioning is required, mouse operation is recommended. Use a
commercially available USB mouse for operation.
