The Foot Switch is an optional item that connects to the gage, allowing
the operator to use both hands when taking measurements. The Foot
Switch is programmed to function identically to the [SEND] key on the
front panel of the gage. However, the Foot Switch can also be set to
function as the [SAVE] or [MEAS] key. When operating as a [MEAS]
key, the Foot Switch can reset the Min thickness reading on the
display. To change the Foot Switch function, access the
Communication menu via the [SETUP] key.
