|
The electronic caliper makes measuring objects simple and easy. At this website you'll find the wide variety of electronic calipers to add to your tool collection. The electronic caliper, also called the digital caliper, replaces the vernier scale on the traditional vernier caliper. It makes reading measurements fast and easy.
Standard Features on Electronic Digital Calipers
Zero button - The zero button basically sets the measurement on the lcd at zero inches or millimeters. Make sure to zero the caliper after turning on the caliper. It also makes measuring differences in size between two objects easy by setting the first objects's measurement at zero.
mm/inch button - Most electronic calipers can measure in metric and imperial scales. With the mm/inch button you can easily convert between scales in your measurements.
Power saving - Most digital calipers will have an auto shutoff feature to conserve battery life.
Data port - The electronic caliper has serial data port to interface with your computer. It can be used for data processing of measurements and printing of measurements.
Special Features
The following special features are not standard and are available on higher end electronic calipers.
TOL Button - The TOL button is used to set tolerance ranges by setting the maximum and minimum values. When a measurement exceeds the tolerance range, an indicator will flash on the display.
Mode Button - The mode button can perform several functions:
1. Data holding - The data holding feature holds the measurement data on the screen and doesn't change if the caliper jaws are moved. This is useful for situations where you need to take measurements in hard to see or dark areas.
2. Minimum Value Tracing - When in this mode, only the minimum value is shown. This can be used when you want to find the minimum diameter of a hole.
3. Maximum Value Tracing - Only keeps the maximum value on the display.
