• Press the POWER SWITCH to power the ND 1100. The startup screen is displayed.
• Press the FINISH key to display the current axis positions on the DRO screen. Software setup The operating parameters of the ND 1100 must be configured prior to using it for the first time, and any time measurement, reporting or communication requirements change. Settings will be retained until:
• The data-backup battery is changed
• The data and settings are cleared
• Software upgrades are performed Caution Setup parameters control the operation of the ND 1100 and are passwordprotected. Only qualified personnel should be given password access to setup screens.

ND 1100 QUADRA-CHEK Setup

2. Select the language

• Use the ARROW CURSOR keys to navigate to the SUPERVISOR setup screen.

Linear and segmented linear error correction methods can be used to compensate for encoder and machine errors. Refer to the ND 1100 User Guide for instructions.

8. Measurement scaling

Linear measurement scaling can be applied when measuring parts that expand or shrink.

• Press the MENU soft key, press the SETUP soft key and then navigate to the SCALE FACTOR screen.
• Enter the desired MULTIPLIER, highlight the ACTIVE field and press the YES soft key to enable scaling.

9. Display formatting

• Press the MENU soft key, press the SETUP soft key and then navigate to the DISPLAY SCREEN.
• Enter the desired display resolutions and other parameters. Note: Many more setup functions are available beyond the minimum parameters discussed here. Refer to the ND 1100 User Guide for detailed instructions. Preparing to probe position

• Use the ARROW CURSOR keys to navigate to the ENCODERS setup screen.
• Select an axis and enter the required encoder parameters
• Repeat setup for all axes.

5. Touch probe printing (optional)

When touch probes are used, positions can be printed upon probe contact.

• Use the ARROW CURSOR keys to navigate to the PRINT setup screen.
• Enter the desired edge detection parameters for printing axis position when the probe makes contact.

6. Calibrate stage squareness

• Align the squareness calibration artifact to the reference axis.
• Press the MENU soft key, press the SETUP soft key and then navigate to the Squareness screen.
• Choose a MASTER AXIS, enter the calibration artifact ANGLE, and press the TEACH soft key.
• Follow instructions on the screen.

1. Power up the ND 1100

• Check connections to the ND 1100.
• Press the POWER SWITCH to power the ND 1100. Then press the FINISH key to display the DRO screen.

2. Find machine zero (otional)

Move the stage to cross reference marks or find hard stops if your system was set up to establish machine zero at startup. Note: A repeatable machine zero is required when SLEC error correction is used. Refer to the User’s Guide for detailed information. Operation Creating a datum A current probe position can be zeroed or preset to a value and then used as a datum.

Move the crosshairs or touch probe to the desired datum position and press an AXIS key to zero the position on the corresponding axis.

2. Preset a position

• Move the crosshairs or touch probe to the desired datum position and press the PRESET soft key.
• Press the Axis key corresponding to the axis to be preset.
• Enter a preset value and press the ENTER key. Probing a position Position is probed with crosshairs or with a touch probe.

1. Probing with crosshairs

Move the stage to position the crosshairs over the desired point. The position will be shown on the LCD screen.

2. Probing with touch probe

• Move the touch probe to the desired point. The position will be shown on the LCD screen.
• When PRINT EDGES is enabled in the PRINT setup screen, the position will be printed upon touch probe contact. Reporting Results Press the SEND key to print probed positions on a USB printer or send position data to a PC over the RS-232 serial connection. The report format is specified in the PRINT Setup screen.

3. Select a unit of measure

Press the IN/MM soft key to toggle between inches and mm.
