Adjustment and Use
The Digital Indicator has 0.5" of travel. It is ideal to set the shaft within the middle of its travel range.
To do so: achieve a rough focus with your tele­scope. Slide the indicator against the stop until the shaft has moved approxi­mately half way through its travel. Use the small Allen key and tighten the two set screws on the side of the Dovetail Channel that con­tact the indicator Dovetail. If the indicator needs more or less adjustment room to reach the stop, first deter­mine if repositioning the Stop Bracket will help. For more adjustment, remove the digi­tal indicator from the chan­nel, loosen the set screws (see step 4) and slide the Indicator Dovetail in the nec­essary direction. Retighten the set screws.
Turn the micrometer on and zero it if necessary
Start critically focusing the image. Take note of the micrometer reading so you may return to that position if further adjustment does not improve focus.
Details regarding the use of the indicator can be found on the instructions in­cluded with the unit.
The optional RSC-2320 cable plus TVFocus software (download available at www.TeleVue.com) permits remote viewing of the indicator's reading.
