There is also a data output port where by the data can be sent to a computer or a printer via a special cable. A fine-tune thumb-wheel is then used to make the final adjustment and locked in place by a second locking screw. The slider together with the attached scriber can slide up and down along the scale and be locked in place. The slider comes with a carbide scriber tip on one of the jaws. An electronic measuring slider is mounted on the beam and it comes with the ABS, ON/OFF/ZERO, MM/INCH, SET,TOL, HOLD, Power ON/OFF buttons. They can even measure up to 80 inches or 2000mm. Usually, imperial digital scales range from 0 to 12 inches while the metric scale ranges from 0 mm to 300 mm. It comprises a solid cast iron base which is robust to ensure rigidity and stability of the instrument and extending from the base up is the beam which includes a printed scale in both imperial and metric format.
The digital height gauge is made from high quality, hardened stainless steel. The electronic height gauge is extremely precise up to 0.001in. High specification electronic height gauges can carry out different measuring tasks including step heights, internal/external diameters and centre-line distances.
A digital height gauge is a high accuracy measuring device developed specifically for measuring the difference in height of two points.
