1.4 The definition of the term commonly used


This section introduces the definition of the term commonly used of DP-100 digital readout to help users
understand the contents of the manual.
1.4.1 Graphic elements
The basic graphic elements generated by DP-100 include point, line, and circle. The angle and distance is

DP-100 Digital Readout Operation Instruction

the combination result of the above graphic elements, but in DP-100 they still are looked as graphic elements.
Graphic elements are short for graphics, graphic element or element.
1.4.2 Graphic Table
When generated new graphic, it will be put in the graphic table. DP-100 can store 100 graphs (001-100).
1.4.3 Targeting Point
In Measuring, a special point of data is inputted the coordinates of DP-100 system, the DP-100 calculate the
correct measurement graphics process. These graphic elements used to generate the special point is that the
sampling points. In addition to measuring distance and angle measurement, other graphics can be measured
up to collect 50 points.
1.4.4 Method of Generated Graphics
1.Graph Measuring
Collect sample points on the work piece and generate graph by these points.
2.Pre-place Graph
Through the keyboard input the necessary information generated new graphics.
3.Construct Graph
Put the previous generated graph portfolio into a new graph.
1.4.5 Recall Graphic Elements
Rapid positioning an already exist element in the list.
1.4.6 Coordinate System
1.Relative / absolute Coordinate System
Absolute Coordinate system refers to the basic coordinate system
Relative Coordinate system means the coordinate system which is relative to absolute Coordinate.
2. Polar /Rectangular coordinate
Rectangular coordinate expresses a point as with (x, y)
Polar angle coordinate expresses a point as with (, )
For ExampleLCD displays The current coordinates location
X window displays 1.000
Y window displays 2.125
It means the current coordinate is(1.000, 2.125), but if convert polar coordinate is(2.349, 64.799), the
display interface is as the chart 1.7 show.

Chart 1.7 Polar coordinate displays


NoteIf it displays polar coordinate in small LCD, the coordinate system in large is rectangle coordinate.
On the contrary, If it displays rectangle coordinate in small LCD, the coordinate system in large is polar
rectangle coordinate.
1.4.7 Measurement Pattern
There are two kinds of measurement patterns, One is that before measuring, pre-set the measurement
points (max is 50 sample points); another is that before measuring it is no need to preset the sample points
quantities which will be decided during measurement. You can choose any kind of measurement pattern
via presetting in the internet function setup.

4.6 The function of coordinates Skew
This chapter introduce the coordinates skew, there are 3 modes, including the meaning of coordinates
skew, the function of coordinates skew, and the coordinates skew.
4.6.1 Meaning of coordinates skew
Rotate the current coordinate in one angle and move the coordinates axis parallel to superpose to
one border of measuring work-piece, this operation is called coordinates skew. Coordinates skew
is including rotation of coordinates and the parallel movement of coordinates.
After setting up the coordinates skew, the graphics stored in the list of graphics convert its original
coordinate to the skewing coordinates automatically. After clearing skewing coordinate, graphics
stored in the list of graphics will change its skewing coordinates to the original coordinates automatically.
4.6.2 Function of coordinates skew
The main application of the function of coordinates skew is to help operator to skew the work-piece, in
order to measure conveniently and improve the measurement efficiently. When the edge of work-piece
is irregular or make an angle to coordinate axis, the function of coordinate skew enable operator to rotate
the frame of axes in one angle, make the coordinates axis to superpose the edge of work-piece, now the

40

DP-100 Digital Readout Operation Instruction

mechanical coordinates change to work-piece coordinates. Applying function of coordinates skew when
measuring a new work-piece for the convenience of measurement.
Skew a work-piece, the method is to choose a border in work-piece, and rotate the coordinates axis in an
angle base on this border to make the original coordinates axis to superpose or parallel to this border, then
choose one appropriate point as the objective data origin, using the function of coordinates parallel, move
the data origin to the selected data point, 2 sampling points is at least when measuring a line, and maximum
quantities are 50 points.
4.6.3 Mode of coordinates skew
DP-100 digital readout provides three modes of coordinates skew.
Mode 1: input two points P1,P2,the origin of new coordinates system is P1,and line passed P1 and P2 is X
axis, direction is from P1 to P2,like chart4.72 shows.

Mode 1
P2
P1

Chart 4.72 measurement skew-modes 1


Mode2: Input three points P1,P2,P3, new coordinates system base on the line passed P1,P2 as X axis,
direction is from P1 to P2, draw a line passed P3 perpendicular to X axis as new Y axis, the foot of a
perpendicular is the origin of coordinates system.

Mode 2

Mode3: input four points P1,P2,P3,P4,new coordinates system base on line passed P1,P2 as X axis,
direction is from P1 to P2,the intersecting point of line passed P3,P4 and line passed P1,P2 is origin
of coordinate system.

10) Repeat the Eighth step, and set the standard value of other points. The maximum number of the
compensation point is fifty.
11) After finished the all compensation points, press

Finish

key and return to the interface of segment

linear error compensation settings as show in chart 5.9. To this point, its finished the input of X-axis
compensation settings.
Notice:
These settings can amend the balance of the measured value of linear scale and standard value.
The count direction of standard scale and digital scale must be consistent. Generally, the correct
direction is minus direction in left, positive direction in right. This is the operator step of X-axis
segment linear error compensation settings.
If want to set Y-axis compensation, from the fifth step begin, press up or down key and select Y-axis
compensation settings
When input the value of compensation point, it must be input from minus ports to positive ports of
the axis one by one, the counting direction of axis is the best with the same direction of input. With
regards to the segment which is not compensation, the calculating of its show value is, if this point
is before of the first compensation, it will use the first segment linear error compensation value to
compensation.
If this point at the end of the segment linear error compensation, it should be use the last one voltampere value to equalize.
For the section of the better linear which is not correction, it should be set the same with the
observations value and standard value, as show in the chart 5.14
After select the segment linear error compensation, when turn on the machine, the find RI point is
requested every time(ReferenceDP-100 Operator manual4.1.1 How to turn on and turn off
the machine).It is should be finished following the operator step of turn on the machine.
If the segment linear error compensation has been set before, in the fifth step, we can press up key
or

down key, select the Amend, and revised the interface of segment linear error

compensation of axis. Like the picture 5.15 show.
