Numeric Only 

Output format includes the value only. Polarity same as above. 

Invert Polarity 

Compression/clockwise values have negative polarity, tension/counter-clockwise 
values have positive polarity. May be selected in addition to the N Units / 
Numeric Only selection. 

Omit Polarity 

Both directions are formatted with positive polarity. May be selected in addition to 
the N Units / Numeric Only selection. 

 

9.1.3 Automatic Output 

The indicator has the ability to output data continuously via RS-232 or USB. To enable automatic output, 
select 

Auto Output

 from the 

Serial/USB Settings

 sub-menu. The screen appears as follows: 

 

 

  
Select 

Enabled

 to activate automatic output. The number of outputs per second can be set to 1, 2, 5, 10, 

25, 50, 125, or 250. The capabilities of the receiving device should be considered when selecting the data 
output rate.  
 
After the settings have been saved, revert to the home screen. An icon appears in the lower left corner of 
the display, as follows: 

 This indicates that automatic data output has been armed. Automatic output 

of data may be initiated by pressing 

DATA

 or by sending the appropriate ASCII command from an 

external device (see 

Command Set

 sub-section for details). The icon will become animated, signaling 

that automatic output is occurring. Press 

DATA

 again to end the data transmission.  

 
9.2 Mitutoyo BCD settings

 

This output is useful for connection to data collectors, printers, multiplexers, or any other device capable 
of accepting Mitutoyo BCD data. Individual data points may be transmitted by pressing 

DATA

 or by 

requesting it from the Mitutoyo communication device (if available). To enable Mitutoyo output, select the 
desired format – either with polarity or without polarity. The screen appears as follows: 
 

 

 

9.3 Analog Output 

This output can be used for chart recorders, oscilloscopes, data acquisition systems, or any other 
compatible devices with analog inputs. The output produces ±1 volt at full scale of the sensor. The 
polarity of the signal is positive for compression/clockwise and negative for tension/counter-clockwise.  

 
9.4 DATA Key Functions 

The 

DATA

 key can be configured to perform several functions. To configure the 

DATA

 key, select 

DATA 

Key

 from the menu. The display appears as follows:
