1.1 Overview of This Product
This product is a Digimatic indicator that digitally displays the amount of
plunger displacement. It is available in two types: the standard type and the low
measuring force type.
It has the following features.
yIt is equipped with a display function for tolerance judgment results. ( "4.4
Tolerance Judgment" on page 29)
yIt can hold the peak values of the displaced measured values (runout,
maximum value, minimum value). ( "4.3 Peak Detection" on page 26)
yIt provides an analog bar display that makes it easy to check the approach to
the origin and tolerance values. ( "1.2.2 Display (LCD)" on page 4)
yDepending on how this product is used, it is possible to customize the
functions assigned to short-pressing of each key ([F1] key, [F2] key, [F3] key).
