Notes concerning displayed values:
The CS-S10w software enhances calculation accuracy by performing internal calcula-
tions with numbers greater in magnitude than those actually displayed. Consequently,
the least significant digit displayed may differ from that of the instrument by one digit
due to rounding or color space conversion.
Because the tolerance judgement calculation and graph-plotted points are also pro-
cessed with numbers greater in magnitude than those actually displayed, the judge-
ment result or plotted points may differ from those obtained with the values displayed
on the instrument.
