If the tool is longer than the reference tool:
Δ
L > 0 (+).
If the tool is shorter than the reference tool:
Δ
L < 0 (–).
As indicated above it is also possible to have the VUE determine a
tool’s length offset. This method involves touching the tip of each tool
to a common reference surface. This allows the VUE to determine the
difference between the length of each tool.
Move the tool until its tip is touching the reference surface. Press the
TEACH LENGTH soft key. The VUE will calculate an offset relative to
this surface. Repeat the procedure for each additional tool using the
same reference surface.
