Defining the locked area (
Device control > Advanced > Locked area
)
A locked area is a spacial limitation of the measurement area in the y- and z-direction ensuring that, for ex-
ample, the measurement tip moves around any obstacles in this area.
For standard installation
The origin of the locked area is defined by
the opening in the measuring tip (pinhole).
The position z=0 and y=0 defines the the
lower left corner of the locked area.
X
Pull the mouse button to three points
P1, P2, P3 to define the locked area.
• As an alternative, you can numeri-
cally enter the locked area in the entry
fields below.
Example
In the figure, the locked area is set to
z=100 mm for the z-axis in Point P3.
• This causes the device’s vertical car-
rier to move in the z-direction from
z=0 mm to z=100 mm.
The z-coordinate of the point P1 is already
defined by the resting position of the mea-
suring tip and cannot be changed.

For upside down installation with ro-
tated measuring tip
The origin of the locked area is defined by
the opening in the measuring tip (pinhole).
The position z=120 and y=0 defines the
the top left corner of the locked area.
Example
In the figure, the locked area is set to 100
mm for the z-axis in Point P3.
This causes the device’s vertical carrier to
move in the z-position from z=0 mm to
z=100 mm.
Device must be in the resting position
before it can be stored in the transport
box
Since the locked area is saved in the
device, it will no longer be possible to
move to the resting position in the position
z=120.

off the device.
