6. Activate the CLOCK Submenu (located in the SCAN Menu) by pressing below it.
7. Press to set the CLOCK Function to ENCODED. Input the operating characteristic (inches or mm per encoder
“tick”) of the attached encoder using the ENCODER Function.
8. Press and turn the Function Knob to set the SAMPLE INTERVL (in mm or inches). This equates to the distance
traveled by the probe’s encoder wheel between lines of acquired data.
9. Note that the calculated value of DISPLAY LENGTH automatically updates. This represents the approximate
linear distance over which an encoded scan can be acquired and represented on the TOP View display at the same
time. While scanning a test piece, stopping the display (Section 7.3) allows the operator to scroll back through the
acquired TOP View data.
10. Press to activate TOP View by setting the VIEW MODE Function to TOP.
Note: The instrument will only update the data display while the encoder’s wheel turns.
Figure 66: Make these settings for TOP View operation with an encoder. Most TOP View specific settings are
accessed from the CLOCK, VIEW, and IMAGE Submenus.
