Display and Indicators
The display is a 4-digit, 7-segment LED. The main screen is the Run mode screen.
For 2-pt, BGS, FGS, and DYN TEACH modes, the display shows the current distance to the target in millimeters. For dual TEACH
mode, the display shows the percentage matched to the taught reference surface. A display value of
indicates the sensor
has not been taught.
