IMPORTANT

NOTE

TIP

• An important note provides information essential to the completion of a task. You cannot

disregard this note to complete the task.

• An important note is a type of precaution, which if neglected could result in a loss of

data, decreased accuracy or instrument malfunction/failure.

A note emphasizes or supplements important points of the main text. It also supplies

information about specific situations (e.g., memory limitations, equipment configurations,

or details that apply to specific versions of a program).

A tip is a type of note that helps the user apply the techniques and procedures described

in the text to his or her specific needs.

It also provides reference information associated with the topic being discussed.

Used to measure and calculate basic geometric shapes.

Used to measure and calculate width, pitch, perpendicularity, and other values that are not basic features.

Used to select the icon for a function that can be used in a command which is being executed. The keys correspond to icons with function key numbers (F1, F2, ... F5).

[LOAD] key Used to input a measured point.

[CANCEL] key Cancels a measured point, or goes back to the immediately previous menu.

[ENTER] key Enters the selection or entry, and goes to the next step.

Cursor keys Used to move the cursor or select a parameter.

Numeric keys

Switches the screen display mode (measurement screen, counter display screen, etc.).

User-defined menu keys

TIP

Keys with a letter of the alphabet in their upper left corner, such as

to enter an alphabetic text, such as a file name and a comment.

Counter

F1: Recalls the measured features and performs calculations, etc.

F2: Recalls the measured features to adopt the representative point coordinates of those

features as measured points for the current measurement.

F3: Changes the measurement conditions ("Output Items", "Auto.MeasuringCompletion").

F4: (Enables/disables input of measured points based on edge detection if OPTOEYE is

mounted.)

F5: Completes the input operation of measurement points and outputs results at the multi-point

measurement.

In the navigation window, the next location to be measured flashes to navigate the next

measuring position. The flashing location moves as shown below, each time a point is entered.

TIP

• When the results are displayed at the end of the measurement, the navigation window

returns to its initial input standby state (“1/3” in the above figure), and the same

measurement is repeated automatically.

• To perform a different measurement, press a different measurement command key.
