An LCD display helps you read depth measurements of drilled holes and machined slots. These gauges are often used for quality control in manufacturing plants and laboratories. Store data internally or use the SPC data output to connect to a computer or data processor. This allows you to analyze data and monitor measurements in real time. The zero-set button lets you start measuring at any point. With zero-position memory, also known as absolute (ABS) positioning, these gauges retain their measuring position when the scale is off. To save battery life, they turn off after 30 minutes of inactivity.
