Key Timing 

 

The keys pictured above, are found on all Digi-Stop

 

readouts, and some of 

them have multiple functions.  
Timing, which is how long a key is depressed, and the combination of the keys 
pressed is important.  This manual uses the term ‘”

momentarily

” to describe a 

key press of shorter than 1 second. Whereas the term 

“press and hold

” is used 

to describe a key press of longer than 1.5 seconds. As an example; when using 
a PC keyboard to type a capital letter you would “

press and hold

” the SHIFT 

key and “

momentarily

 depress the LETTER key.  In addition most of the key 

functions

” are executed on RELEASE, not press.  This is important since 

some of the same keys execute different functions based on how long they are 
pressed and when they are released.  These key operations, once tried will 
quickly become intuitive.  
 

On/Off 

Momentarily pressing the 

ON/OFF

 key will cause the readout  to turn on or off. 

The Firmware Version of the readout is displayed on power-up when 

ON/OFF

 

key is used.  While the readout is on, if the stop is not moved for 15 minutes, 
the readout  will automatically turn itself off to conserve battery life.  While it is 
off  if  the  stop  is  moved  as  little  as  .002in  (.05mm),  or  the 

ON/OFF

  button  is 

pressed,  the  readout    will  automatically  turn  itself  back  on  with  no  loss  of 
position.  
 

Units 

The  readout    can  display  position  information  in  decimal  inches,  fractions,  or 
millimeters.  To change the current display mode, momentarily press the 

UNITS

 

key.    With  each  key  press  the  readout  will  cycle  through  decimal  inches, 
fractional inches and millimeters.  
 
When the readout is in 1/16 or 1/32 inch fraction mode, a series of “bars” in the 
upper right corner of the display, each representing 1/64th of an inch, may 
appear.  (ie. When in 1/16 inch mode and three bars are showing, the 
measurement displayed is rounded 

down

 to the closest 1/16 inch and each
