    To check the accuracy of the DRO system: 1. Place the target of the laser or the needle of the dial indicator directly on the Newall reader head. It is absolutely critical that you take the readings directly from the Newall reader head. If you have to use a dial indicator, be sure that the needle of the indicator is perpendicular to the reader head and not angled.

    As you follow the procedure you must ensure that you either use a stepped standard, and approach each edge from the same direction; or if you must approach each edge from opposite directions, then subtract the width of the tool or measuring probe from the value displayed on the DP500. Tool or...
