3.2 Techniques and Terminology of Setup Functions
3.2.1 Program
• A measurement will be automatically performed according to the registered (programmed)
contents including the segment (feature to be measured) and GO/NG judgment criteria,
etc., in advance. Registration is performed in the function setup mode.
• This unit can hold a maximum 100 programs, which may include various settings suitable
for up to hundred kinds of workpieces.
• Program numbers are divided into groups, each of which has up to ten programs and is
referred to as a channel (CH).
These two-digit program numbers define the meanings as shown in the table below.
Program No.

• As the expanded basic setup it is possible to select the range of applying calibration.
1. Applies uniformly to the entire 100 programs (factory default).
2. Applies individually to each channel (10 programs).
• With the expanded basic setup it is possible to select the range of applying presetting and
mastering.
1. Applies uniformly to the entire 100 programs (factory default).
2. Applies individually to each channel (10 programs).
3. Applies individually to each program.
• As the expanded basic setup it is possible to select either the “100 Program mode” or “10
program mode”, which limits the number of available programs to ten. (The factory
default setting is the 100 program mode.)
• As the basic setup it is possible to select either the “Single measurement mode” which
uses 100 programs (10 programs in the 10 program mode) as independent programs or the
“Simultaneous measurement mode” which uses two specific programs as a pair.
NOTE • If the program must be switched to another with the RS-232C/GP-IB command, it
is necessary to use a separate command for the 100 program mode or 10 pro-
gram mode.
For more information about the RS-232C/GP-IB command refer to Section 6.1.2.4
“RS-232C/GP-IB Commands”.
• In the 10 program mode the user can make use of the RS-232C/GP-IB commands
provided for Mitutoyo old models (LSM-6000, 6100) without further modification. It
is advised for the customers, who are operating Mitutoyo old models (LSM-6000,
6100) with the RS-232C communication commands, to use the 10 program mode.
