Menu functions

Presettings

The menu allows selection of the settings that will remain in memory after the instrument is switched off.

Navigation in the Menu

Press the MENU -key {A, 10} repeatedly to scroll through the possible menu functions (UNIT, OFFSET, TRIPOD, RESET).

When the desired menu option appears, select it with the EQUAL - key {A, 5}, scroll through the possible settings with the PLUS - key {A, 3} or the MINUS - key {A, 13} and store the selected setting with the EQUAL - key {A, 5}. Press CLEAR - key {A, 9} to leave the menu without saving any changes in the settings.

Measure with offset

An offset automatically adds or subtracts a value to/ from ALL measurements. With this feature tolerances can be taken into consideration e.g. between unfinished and finished dimensions.

Select the menu function OFFSET {B, 20} (OFFSET blinks in the display), confirm with the EQUAL - key {A, 5}. Adjust the OFFSET with the PLUS - key {A, 3} or the MINUS - key {A, 13}.

By holding the keys down, the setting values will increase/decrease faster. Once you have entered the proper offset confirm your selection with the EQUAL

-key {A, 5}. As long as an OFFSET {B, 20} is added/ subtracted the symbol is visible on the display.

Measuring with tripod

Using a tripod eliminates shaking when measuring over long distances. On the back of the instrument is an industry standard ¼"-threaded hole for use with a camera tripod mounting screw. For correct measurements the reference needs to be adapted. Select the menu function TRIPOD {A, 8} ("triPod" blinks in the display) and confirm with the EQUAL - key {A, 5}.
