Operating Instructions
The CI-202 is a self-contained, hand-held instrument with a built-in display and batteries. It
contains an optical scanner to measure width.
Taking a measurement can be as simple as turning the instrument on, inserting a leaf on the
scan board, and scanning. The instrument does the rest.
To turn the instrument on or off, press the ON/OFF button. When the instrument comes on, a
copyright notice will appear for 1/2 second. Following this, several words will appear on the
display with the word “Measure” appearing in the upper left-hand corner of the display. You are
now in the CI-202 menu system.
Note:
When there are no files to store data to, the measure menu items will not be available. To
correct this situation, create a file.
The following sections describe the menus and what they do. The CI-202 menu system allows
you to quickly and easily operate the instrument without constantly referring to this manual.
Whenever possible, the screen associated with a menu item will give you information about
choices that you can make. Usually, the top line of the screen will contain information about
where you are, and the bottom line will contain information about buttons to press to change the
current status.

brackets on the left, and the four direction arrows on the right.

the scan board. When the scan head has been drawn out completely, the instrument will stop
