10.4 Mitutoyo BCD settings
This output is useful for connection to data collectors, printers, multiplexers, or any other device capable
of accepting Mitutoyo BCD data. Individual data points may be transmitted by pressing
DATA
or by
requesting it from the Mitutoyo communication device (if available). Automatic output of individual data
points is also possible. Refer to the

10.5 Break Detection
Three functions can be triggered automatically upon bottle cap removal (break detection), defined as a
