The instrument shows on the display the resolution initially programmed by the
Manufacturer (this corresponds to the resolution of the measuring system). If machining
can be facilitated by a lower resolution (e.g. roughing machining), the operator can
decrease it.
Let us suppose to have an optical scale with 10 µm resolution. If the operator wants to
operate with a 100 µm resolution:

1) At any pressure of the +/- key, the decimal point shifts to the lower resolution.
2) The variable resolution set will be maintained also after turning off the instrument.
3) Function F 36 does not modify the number of decimals displayed; the decimals
considered unnecessary will be kept at 0.
The angular reading, expressed in sexagesimal degrees, can be selected with the function
F 37.

On the axis display set in angular reading, degrees will be expressed as:
DDD.MM.SS.
The resolution depends on the number of encoder pulses (PPR).
