5.6 Creating A Part And Dimensions
The SI7500's factory settings' default Part is 0. To add or change to a different Part, enter the Dimensions screen
of the Setup menu and highlight Part. With the Part field highlighted, the softkeys can be used to cycle between
existing parts or to create new Parts.
NOTE:
Dimensions are visible by default, displayed on the DRO and stored in the database. Dimensions can also
be defined as hidden, for use as variables in for mulas and not displayed. Hidden dimensions are not printed on re-
ports or sent to computers as data files. Visible and hidden dimensions use the same naming con vention. Pressing
the Visible or Hidden softkey will display either register of dimensions.
A maximum of 16 visible and hidden Dimensions can be created for each Part. To create a Dimension, a 3 character
alpha-numeric label must be entered.
To enter a Dimension label, select a Dimension and press the Label softkey. An Alpha entry screen will be displayed
where the 3 character alpha-numeric label can be entered, using the cursor keys to select alphabetic characters and
the keypad to enter numbers.
It is advisable to create Dimension labels that reflect the measurement they correspond to.
