MD II Firmware: MDII 3.3 – From USER’S Manual MD II serial number: 35500 REV 2 ENGLISH: 19-01-08 THE MD II The MD II is a digital diameter caliper, developed and manufactured by Haglöf Sweden AB. The development focus has been to design a modern and tree diameter caliper for professional use, packed with modern technology, that offers great versatility and is user friendly yet rugged and robust.
MD II Firmware: MDII 3.3 – From USER’S Manual MD II serial number: 35500 REV: 19-01-08 MEASURING SCALE “SMARTSCALE” The measuring scale for MD II is called “SmartScale” and consists from the foldable jaws and the non- incremental measuring system with battery and radio. The radio uses ISM band 2.4GHz. The SmartScale is synchronized to the data terminal, and sends data to this specific terminal.
