Adding a Micro-Grid to a Stored Value

If users wish to record additional thickness measurement data in a single file location, they can create a Micro-Grid. Micro-Grids are small data subsets within a file. The entire subset is stored at one specific data location. Micro-Grids are created in the Measure mode. They can only be stored in a file location that already contains a thickness measurement and are placed in the data file location selected at the time of

Micro-Grid creation.

Creating and Navigating Within a Micro-Grid

In the Measure mode, with a data file active and the desired data point (which must already contain a thickness measurement) selected, center-press and briefly hold the joystick.The function key window will now change, so that Function 1 is

GRID.

Press Function 1 (



GRID) The Micro-Grid window opens on the display screen, next to a value representing the grid’s size. Note that all Micro-Grids must be symmetrical; that is, they must have the same number of rows and columns. Micro-Grids can be created in sizes ranging from 2 × 2 to 9 × 9.

Set the size of the Micro-Grid by using the joystick to scroll to the desired value.

When you have entered the size information, press F 2 (

DONE). The DMS Go will return to Measure mode, and the Micro Grid will be open for data entry. Enter data as you would in a DR file.

When you have completed entering data, press F3 (
