3. SYSTEM SETUP
After completing all the connections on the back of DRO then on/off switch turned “on” for opening the DRO.
The DRO will display the power UP message momentarily in 3 second as shown below.
Pressing the "Setup" button to toggle the system setup screen.
System Setup menu options include directional move with arrow keys when in the desired option, and sub-menu
with "ENT" button can be entered.Shortcuts to navigate to the desired option available and It can use the numeric
buttons for this operation (to compensation menu it used "3" button).
3.1. DRO
DRO option is used for the mainly features of Digital Readout system.the menu can be navigated with arrow keys up
and down andit can be changed with right-left arrow keys.Numerical changes are made with the numerical buttons
on the menu.If numeric changes are saved if desired firstlyit must be saved with the "ENT" button.. After the
numeric changes if it use “ESC“ button to exit it will not be saved in terms of security.
3.1.1. Language

If it is to make angular impressions this menu can be used.If the position"ON" the Axis is shown such as degree/
minute/ second. If left position "OFF" the Axis is show only degree. This menu is functionless for Linear
measurements..
3.3. Reference (Zero Position)
This menu is used to find zero point of bench. The recommended for sensitive usage; this menu sould be used
everytime when opening of ADR50.
There are two option for usuage; Electronic and Mechanical

[11]
3.3.1. Electronic Reference (Zero position of Scale)
To find out electronic reference the choice of which axis should be selected.If selected “ALL”, Reference of all axes
can be found out in same time.The reference option is selected as "Electronics", pres “ENT” button. when it comes
“Bul !” selected, the axes values are displayed as a below.When press “ENT” button, the magnifying glass icon will be
appeared next to the Axis which is electronic reference to be found.
Encoder is moved until to recieve the refernce signal. the check icon will be appeared next to the Axis which get
reference signal and axis will be reset.

[12]
3.3.2. Mechanical Reference (Mechanical Zeroing Position)
To find out electronic reference the choice of which axis should be selected.If selected “ALL”, Reference of all axes
can be found out in same time. The reference option is selected as "Electronics", pres “ENT” button. when it comes
“Bul !” selected, the axes values are displayed as a below. When press “ENT” button, the magnifying glass icon will
be appeared next to the Axis which is electronic reference to be found.
Encoder is moved until to recieve the refernce signal. The check iconwill be appeared next to the Axis which get
reference signal and axis will be reset.

[13]
3.4. Compensation (Error Correction)
Compensation, error correction function at benches, are used to compensate mistakes of scales. it can be applied
separately for each axis.Linear or sectional can be selected. Sectional compensation can be made up to 100 point.
Error correction function can be set only with metric system, works for both measurement system.
3.4.1. Linear Compensation (Linear Error Correction)
Linear Error Correction, to performed the entering a different error value for each axis.Linear error is proportional
increases with distance.
The value as called "Correction Factor" is entered for each axis. Correction Factor can be calculated according to
which value is showed how many mm at 1000 mm (1 meter) on the display.
To active the Linear Compensation; select the required axis to calibrate using X, Y, Z and press “ENT” then the
selected “Linear“ on the second line and press “ENT” button to save.
The bottom line will be appeared on the screen. To entered that calculated correction factor on the this line and
save with “ENT” button. After the finishing of this function set, log out with “Esc” button

[14]
3.4.2. Segmented Compensation (Segmented Error Correction)
If the scale makes errors in different dimensions this function is used for compensation. It can make compensation
up to 100 point.
The starting point, zero point or mechanical zero point must have in segmented compensation function. After that
determine the correction values with regular intervals.
To active the Segmented Compensation; select the required axis to calibrate using X, Y, Z for segmented
compensation with arrow keys then press “ENT” . The selected “Segmented“ on the second line and press “ENT”
button to save.
There line will be appeared on the screen. the entered the value of distance between points of correction on the
lenght line. The entered the value of how many correction points on the number line. Scroll to “Start“ line and
press“ENT” button then the sub-window will be opened.
There are four lines in the sub-window. The current value of axis compensation to be applied is displayed on the first
line. if this value should be close to the value actually it is displayed in green if it is not close it is displayed in red.If
this value is red it is not allow error correction of point for security reasons.
If the entered value of distance between points of correction “20.000” the value is displayed in green between
“18.000” to “20.000” and it is allowed to make a compensation.

Second line on the "Point" line is displayed count of correction point. Scroll to the required correction point. It is
shown as a “A / B”, A; count of point and B; total number of correction point. In the above example; it is understood
that there are 3 correction point and at the 1. Point.
When the Incorrect Point is reached, The correct value is entered to "RealValue" line on the menu.In the above
example;1. correction point is supposed to show “20.000” but as it shows “19.860”. when this point is reached, enter
“20” on the "RealValue" line and save with “ENT” button.
when the correction point is saved, 4. line measured value is displayed.the next point is displayed on the "Point" line
and the same process is repeated for this point.
The same process is repeated for all points. After all the correction points are completed, exit from this function with
"Esc" button.
