Description Start researching reference positions (rEF) Axis set up not in “Linear” reading mode Axis set up not in “Angular” reading mode Function not allowed Key button not programmed Program not allowed Memory end Algebraic sum entered LCD display required Sum of two axes required Internal fault (service required)
RETENTION OF DATA AND PROGRAMS Program setting of VISION is carried out beforehand by the Manufacturer, who is aware of the access codes and of the procedures (configuration). The user can then enter the settings required for using it. All the information is permanently stored, and can only be changed voluntarily, by re-entering it.
INVERSION OF COUNTING DIRECTION Switch on the instrument and wait for the end of the self-test cycle. The displays remain on and show the zero search (rEF). Press CLR to enable the Axes for counting. Move the Carriages by hand and decide which Axes need to be reversed (the direction in which they advance depends on the mode of application of the rulers, and is therefore random).
SCALE ZERO REFERENCE (rEF) The ruler zero reference (rEF) can be considered a precision micro-contact, generally located at the midpoint of the travel. Its position in relation to the geometrical trim of the machine is invariable in time, and can only “move” if the scale is disassembled (for servicing, maintenance or replacement), and re-assembled differently.
SELF-TESTING A general test of the instrument is carried out every time it is switched on, and the validity of the data stored in the memory is checked. If this is found to be reliable, while the function is being performed the following wording will appear on the display for a few seconds: t E S t ®X...
RESETTING/PRE-SETTING A DIMENSION Regardless of the selected counting mode, ABS or INC, resetting of a datum is obtained by proceeding as follows : and/or 1 2 3. 4 5 ®Y and/or and/or and/or The LEDs of the activated Axes will flash. and/or 0.

MMS/INCHES CONVERSION Every time the following key is pressed the unit of measurement is switched from MM to INCHES or vice versa. Switching takes place instantaneously for all the Axes being counted. The selected unit of measurement is shown by the position of the LED lit on the keypad, and also by the position of the decimal points for the Axes being counted.
STORED DATA CLEARING This function can be used to cancel the data entered by the operator, either globally or selectively. The instrument has placed them in 11 different storage areas. and, if required The indications concerning the types of data stored in the memory areas will be displayed, together with the number corresponding to each area.

F 30 LINEAR CORRECTION The machining errors which can be originated by geometrical defects of the machine-tool due to wear or to a lack of linearity of the guides, coupling clearances between the Carriage and the guide, badly distributed weights, and so on may even be considerable. If the errors are of the linear type, that is to say if they are proportional to the value of the displacement carried out, they can be offset by means of the linear correction function, The correction factor CF can be calculated by the operator using the following...
F 31 NON-LINEAR CORRECTION (10 POINTS) The machining errors which can be originated by geometrical defects of the machine-tool due to wear or to a lack of linearity of the guides, coupling clearances between the Carriage and the guide, badly distributed weights and so on may even be considerable. If the errors are of the linear type, but proportional only for some spaces to the value of the displacement carried out, they can be offset by means of the non-linear correction function.
