3.2 Techniques and Terminology of Setup Functions
3.2.1 Program
• A measurement will automatically be 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 of 10 programs, which may include various settings
suitable for up to ten kinds of workpieces.
• The user can select, in the basic setup, whether these ten programs are used as individual
programs (referred to as “single measurement”) or as five pairs of programs (referred to as
“simultaneous measurement”).
a) Single measurement
One session of measurement is performed according to the one specified program.
This is the factory default.
b) Simultaneous measurement
• In one measurement session two programs are executed at one time as a pair. These
pairs are formed as shown in the figure below.
• To run a pair of programs, either of the two can be specified via numeric keys
0
to
9
and the one specified is called “foreground” program, and its counterpart is
called “background” program.
Pair 4: Program No.4
Program No.9
Pair 3: Program No.3
Program No.8
Pair 2: Program No.2
Program No.7
Pair 1: Program No.1
Program No.6
Pair 0: Program No.0
Program No.5
3.2.2 Basic setup
• This is used to customize the basic setup conditions, including the resolution, available
functions, and interface conditions, according to the measurement requirements.
• This basic setup must be performed at the beginning of a measurement. Note that changing
the setup of resolution or simultaneous measurement in this basic setup cancel the existing
calibration values and function setup.
• The basic setup mode is entered by turning on the power while holding down the
SET
key.
Note that no response will be made to an I/O interface input and RS-232C/GP-IB com-
mand in the basic setup mode.
• For more information, refer to Section 4.1, “Basic Setup”.
