Introducing the new Digimatic Mycal E-Z Caliper featuring. ABSOLUTE LINEAR ENCODER technology. It has achieved superior cost performance and ease of use by featuring only essential functions. Features: The Absolute MyCal E - Z allows direct measurements from power on. You can forget the time consuming origin setup which otherwise is required each time the power is turned on. Zero-setting of the display is also possible at any slider position for easy comparison measurements (incremental mode). Large LCD digits allow measurement results to be at a glance. A scale contamination detection function is implemented to detect contamination of surface and display the error message (ErrC) on the LCD. The correct value is only displayed when the contamination is removed. The battery life has been greatly extended with the power-conserving design permitting 3.5 years ( 20,000 hours) continuous with a single battery.
