■ WHAT MUST BE SPECIFIED WHEN ORDERING

Following two methods can specify scale plate.

a) Using ‘Scale Plate Designer’

Access ‘Design Scale Plate’ in the M-System web site (http://www.m-system.co.jp/english). Scale plate can be designed

in this web site.

By function below, it can be easy to create standard design or original design.

[Design Automatically]

Entering Minimum, Maximum, and Unit allows to create automatically a scale plate.

Maximum created scale division number is ’43.9’.

[Specify Division Interval]

Division Interval can be specified according to the application.

[Specify Division Number]

It is available to create originally with scale division number, length of line, position, character size, font and detailed position.

After designing is completed, register code is issued. Place the order with this code.

Once scale plate is designed, it is recorded. The register code can be used any number of times.

b) Specifying scale range and display unit when placing the order

It is available to create by specifying scale range and display unit for right and left.

Regarding design of scale plate such as division number, length of division number line, and character font, they are same

as above [Design Automatically],

M-System designs them.

■ DESIGNING BY ‘DESIGN AUTOMATIFICALLY’

How ‘Design Automatically’ creates scale design is described succinctly below.

■ TYPES OF DIVISIONS

Five (5) types of divisions are used depending upon the scale span, which determined by the following equation:

where n = integer (used to limit the calculated scale span to the minimum of 1.1, below 11.0.)

• Type 1: 1.1 ≤ Scale Span < 1.3

Number of divisions: 22 to 25.9

Scale: Starts at 0, increments in 0.02 / 0.2 / 2 / 20 / 200.

Min. and max. values are indicated.

4 digits including negative sign and decimal point.

Division lines: Long, Short, Medium, Short, Long

(4 division lines repeating)

• Type 2: 1.3 ≤ Scale Span < 2.0

Number of divisions: 26 to 39.9

Scale: Starts at 0, increments in 0.03 / 0.3 / 3 / 30 / 300.

Min. and max. values are indicated.

4 digits including negative sign and decimal point.

Division lines: Long, Short, Medium, Short, Medium, Short, Long

(6 divisions repeating)
