Creating a skew and datum (including a message)
Skew and datum operations are described in Chapter 6: Measuring. In this example, the bottom edge is
measured for skew compensation, the left edge is measured and the intersection point of the bottom and left
edge lines is zeroed in the X, Y and Z axes and used as a datum for subsequent measurements.
First, you may optionally create a message that prompts the user to perform the operations described above.
Press the Finish key to complete the message.
The details of skew and datum measurements are described in Chapter 6: Measuring. Measure the skew
