19 2D MODE
19.1 Introduction
The MICRO-HITE or MICRO-HITE+M is a height gauge that is basically used to measure only
when being positioned on a reference plane (granite table) (3) or any other similar surface.
The measures are then performed in one coordinate direction only (2), orientated
perpendicularily to the reference plane (1).
Indeed, it is not possible to proceed to measurement of elements directly in two coordinates
without going through measuring steps split by a piece rotation in the directions of the wished
coordinates.
The
2D
mode is directly accessible from the
button of the keyboard when being in ST2
mode.
The 2D mode is enabled only if a reference has been previously defined in
ST2 mode. If you cannot select the 2D mode, return in ST2 mode pressing
, then define the reference and come back to the menu with
again.
19.2 Concept
The use of the 2D mode implies to go through two steps that will allow then to start the analysis
from the received results called “raw data”.
•
Step 1
: Y coordinates measurement
•
Step 2
: Z coordinates measurement
The opposite is also valid as the user has the possibility to switch from one axis to the other.
Even if it is possible to change the reference axis in the middle of the raw
data measurement, it is preferable to measure all coordinates of the same
axis straight and then change the axis for the second batch of
measurement in the other axis.
The first step consists in measuring all Z (or Y) coordinates of axis and bore centres.
