4.3 Peak Detection

During peak detection, measurement is performed while the workpiece is
moved and rotated with the contact point touching the workpiece. The displayed
value can be switched between the runout width (TIR), the maximum value
(Max), and the minimum value (Min) detected as the displacement peak value.

● Current value display

Current measurement value is always displayed.

● Runout width (TIR) display

The runout width (maximum value - minimum value) is always displayed relative
to the displacement of the measured value. [Max] or [Min] blinks when the
maximum and minimum values are updated.
Tolerance judgment results are displayed with respect to the runout.

Tips
• When [Auto] is selected in "Analog bar display selection" in the parameter setting
mode, the analog bar scale automatically changes so that the pointer of the analog
bar is always within the display range with respect to the displacement of the
measured value.
• For tolerance judgment, the set upper/lower limit width is compared with the
measured runout width.

● Maximum value (Max) display

The maximum value is always displayed relative to the displacement of the
measured value. [Max] blinks when the maximum values are updated.
Tolerance judgment results are displayed with respect to the maximum value.

Tips
• In absolute measurement, it is possible to preset any maximum value and perform
measurement based on that position. For preset settings, refer to "4.1.1 Setting
Origin and Preset Values" on page 22 in "4.1 Absolute Measurement (ABS)".
• If the pointer on the analog bar exceeds the display range with respect to the
displacement of the measured value, the pointer automatically returns to the center
position.
