3. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for accurate measurement using your digital indicator.

Power On/Off

• Press the ON/OFF button to power the indicator on or off.

1. Move the spindle to the desired origin position.
2. Press and hold the ORIGIN button until the display shows "0.000".

Inch/Millimeter Conversion

For inch/metric models, press the IN/MM button to switch between inch and millimeter display units.

Go/No-Go Judgment

Refer to the specific instructions for setting upper and lower tolerance limits for Go/No-Go judgment, typically found in the full product manual or through the device's interface.

Data Output (SPC)

The SPC output function allows for data transfer to external devices for analysis. Connect the appropriate SPC cable (sold separately) to the data output port on the indicator and your data collection system. Follow the instructions provided with your SPC software for data acquisition.
