Irregular Items
The CubiScan 125 has a measuring gate that you move over an item
to measure objects with odd shapes or irregular surfaces. The mea-
suring gate can measure opaque objects as small as .1 inch (2 mm).
An image of the object is displayed on the touch screen as it is mea-
sured.
When you begin measuring with the measuring gate, you must start
with the gate on the right (facing the front) side of the CubiScan
125, or home position (indicated by the
home
indicator on the touch
screen). You can then use either of the following two methods to
measure an object.
•
Place the item close to the right side of the platform. Starting
with the measuring gate on the right side, or home position,
move the gate over the object, and then move it back to the home
position to complete the measurement.
•
Place the item anywhere on the platform. Move the gate all the
way to the left side (until it touches the left side of the CubiScan
125 frame) to complete the measurement. You can then remove
the item, place another item on the platform, and measure the
new item by moving the gate from the left side to the right side
(back to the home position).
N
OTE
When moving the gate from the left side to measure an object, you
must move the gate all the way back to the home position to com-
plete the measurement.
Take the following steps to measure an irregularly-shaped item with
the measuring gate.
1. Verify that the CubiScan 125 platform is empty. The
zero
indi-
cator should be lit.
2. Place the package or object to be cubed and weighed on the
platform. The
zero
indicator light will go out.
