■ What Is Prescaling?
To make calculations using the input pulse to display rotation (rpm)
or circumferential speed, the number of pulses per rotation or the
length of the circumference must be multiplied by a certain
coefficient. This coefficient is called the prescale value.

Rotation speed (rpm) = f × 60 × a
f: Input pulse frequency (No. of pulses per second)
a: Prescale value
If there are 5 pulses per rotation, then
a = 1/5 (= 0.2 = 2 × 10^-1)
and an accurate rotation speed (rpm) can be calculated.
The actual setting is X = 2.0000 (mantissa) and Y = 10^-1 (exponent).
■ What Is the Auto-zero Function?
(Set this function before using the Digital Indicator.)
If a function f1 to f6 is set, the frequency can be force-set to zero if
there is no input pulse for a set period. This period is called the auto-
zero time. Set the auto-zero time to slightly longer than the longest
input pulse interval. (The display will not easily return to zero if the
auto-zero time is too long or left at the default setting.)
