Figure 31. Digital readout.
The digital readout has two modes of use,
Absolute (ABS) and Incremental (INC).
When used in ABS mode, the readout displays
the distance between the table and the edge
of the cutterhead insert at bottom-dead-center
(BDC) to show workpiece thickness.
When INC mode is used, the readout displays the
distance between the current position of the table
and the position of the table where incremental
mode was set at 0 to show how much material
was removed from the workpiece.
To enter INC mode, press ABS/INC until INC is
displayed. Each time the unit is placed in INC
mode, the incremental value is reset to 0.
