Zero
The probe should be zeroed regularly to ensure best accuracy. The
user will be prompted to zero the probe every time the Gage is
powered-up. The Zero menu item allows the procedure to be
performed at more regular intervals. It is particularly useful during
long measurement sessions.
Important: Clean the probe with the included cleaning card (pg. 9)
before performing a probe zero.
1. Select Zero from the Cal Settings menu
2. Simultaneously press and hold both probe buttons firmly until the
Gage beeps and the arrows point outward. Do not place anything in
the measurement opening during this procedure.
SHORTCUT:
firmly until the Gage beeps and displays "0". This can be performed
from the main measurement screen without having to access the menu.
Tape Grade

n When the Linearize box IS ticked, the PosiTector RTR displays a
more accurate peak-to-valley height measurement H
adjusted for the non-linearity of replica tape. There is no need to
average 2 or more replicas from different grades of tape AND there is
no need to subtract the 50.8 µm (2 mils) of incompressible polyester
film. Ensure the proper tape grade, C or XC, has been selected (pg.
12) and appears in the upper left corner of the display.
n When the Linearize box is NOT ticked, the PosiTector RTR
displays a height value of H comparable to the value an analog
spring micrometer would display after the 50.8 µm (2 mils) of
incompressible polyester film has been subtracted. In other words, it
is the average of the maximum peak-to-valley distances obtained by
measuring the thickness of the replica tape without any correction.
During measurement, if the linearized measurement falls outside of
the selected tape grade's range, the Gage will suggest a more
suitable tape grade to perform the measurement.
