6. INTERFACE UNIT
6.2 Optional Interface
Into the option slot either of the Digimatic Code Output Unit, Second I/O Analog, BCD, and
GP-IB Interface Units can be mounted.
6.2.1 Digimatic Output Unit interface
With the optional Digimatic Output Unit interface the LSM can be connected to the
Digimatic Data Processor (DP-1VR etc.) which uses the Mitutoyo-original data format for
easy data collection and processing.
In addition, as this LSM has two interface units, two pairs of measurements can be collected
at a time, if the simultaneous measurement is specified.
6.2.1.1 Method of use
1) Installation and setup of the interface
• Install the interface unit in the Display Unit. For the method of installation, refer to
Section 6.3 “Installing the Optional Interface Unit”.
• In the B6 mode of the basic setup, make the settings for the Digimatic Output Unit
interface.
:Uses only the OUTPUT-1 from the two interface units.
Select this mode for single measurement.
:Uses the OUTPUT-1 and OUTPUT-2 interface units.
Select this mode when two Digimatic Output Units are used for simultaneous
measurement.
• Set the data output conditions in the function setup.
