SCALE FACTOR.
This function can be used for making “workpieces” with a scale factor
ScF
defined by the
operator. The following can be performed:
reduction scales
1 : 2.5 (ScF = 2.5) 1 : 4 (ScF
= 4)
etc...
enlargement scales
2 : 1 (ScF = 0.5) 4 : 1 (ScF
= 0.25) etc...
% of increase (*)
+ 10% (ScF
= 0.9) + 15% (ScF
= 0.85) etc...
% of decrease (*)
- 10% (ScF
= 1.1) - 15% (ScF
= 1.15) etc...
(*)
For determining the percentage of shortening or lengthening.
The function can be entered and is active in both counting modes, ABS and INC. It is de-
activated (return to a scale of 1 : 1) each time the instrument is switched off, although the
scale does remain stored for quick reinstatement of the previous operating conditions.
If an OFFSET is required, it must be set after entering the scale factor. This will prevent
errors of interpretation (the OFFSET values entered before will be displaced by the same
scale factor).

The function will be confirmed and the scale factor will be activated for all the Axes. Thus,
it is not possible to activate it separately for each single Axis.
