Tool change at any known point of the part:

- Touch the part with the tool.

- Go into HOLD mode. The reading for that axis freezes with the current value.

-Remove the tool to be replaced and insert the new one.

-Approach the new tool to the “freezing” point and touch the part at that point.

- Press this key. The reading “unfreezes” and starts counting from the previously “frozen” value.

If this key is pressed instead, the DRO will assume half the distance traveled since [HOLD] was pressed. This is possible when "freezing" only one axis.

2.5.4Taper (cone) calculation

This DRO calculates the taper angle (cone) of a part by simply touching two of its points and using these keys.

To do this, follow this procedure:

- Move the tool until it touches the part at any point of the taper.

- Access the angle calculation mode.

- Touch the part with the tool at any other point of the taper.

- Press [ENTER] so the DRO calculates the angle or [C] to cancel the operation.

The "X" axis display will show the angle in ten-thousandths of a degree (0.0001º) and the "Z" axis display will do so in degrees, minutes and seconds.

- Press any key to return to the regular display mode.
