The selection will be confirmed and the instrument will go on automatically to consider the
next Axis (the corresponding LED will start to flash). Proceed accordingly either by
confirming or by changing and confirming the other Axes. After the last confirmation by
pressing EXE, the displays will once more be enabled for counting. The type of reading is
selected taking the following into consideration :
A) RADIAL READING
THE DISPLAY SHOWS THE SAME DISPLACEMENT
VALUE AS THE CARRIAGE. THIS IS THE MOST USUAL
TYPE OF READING.
B) DIAMETRICAL READING
THE DISPLAY SHOWS THE
DOUBLE
VALUE OF
DISPLACEMENT OF THE CARRIAGE. THIS IS THE
TYPE OF READING NORMALLY USED FOR THE
TRANSVERSE MEASUREMENTS OF LATHES. THIS IS
BECAUSE IF THE TOOL IS MOVED FORWARDS BY 1
mm, THE DIAMETER OF THE WORKPIECE WILL
DECREASE BY 2 mms .
NOTES:
1.
The unit of measurement can be switched from MM to INCHES and viceversa
in each of the reading mode selected
2.
A permanently lighted dot on the first digit (when the display is enabled for
counting) indicates that the Axis is in the diametrical reading mode.
3
. Any earlier setting for the OFFSET or RELAY OUTPUT functions are de-
activated, since they are altered by the type of reading selected. The positions
of the references are, on the other hand, retained.
4.
In instruments which operate by means of algebraic sums, the Axis being
added to must be working in the same reading mode selected for the Axes to
be added to it.
