I finally conceded and called the factory. They were quite helpful. The
problem had to do with my resolution setting. It should have been .0002
rather than .0005. I doubt that I would have figured that out on my own and
it sure wasn't mentioned in the manual. Thanks to all that replied.

Had the same experience with my recently installed DRO, the manual gives
great instructions on how to change the resolution but no mention under what
circimstances it needs to be done.

Thanks Wild Bill and John,

I downloaded the manual from their website. There is not a lot of
information in it. The scales supposedly are the the ones that came with
it from the factory.

I'll try your process and see what happens. I'll also ping their Customer
Service.

The manual for the unit will show some examples of the diplay appearance
while changing the settings, but you might be able to select the correct
settings by using the following steps (which are from notes I kept from
the
manual of the same unit).
If I had a manual, I'd send you a copy. Maybe someone else can.

If you have compatible scales connected, you can probably come up with
the
correct settings by experimentation or trial & error.

- Turn Power on
- Push/hold A/I
= one of the Setup screens wil be displayed
- Release A/I
= unit is now in Setup Mode

- Press Rad/Dia to advance to the desired screen (field)
- Press Reset to change parameter setting
- Press Rad/Dia to advance to desired screen (field)
- Press Reset to change another setting
- Exit Setup Mode (saves selected setting(s), by pressing A/I

Here is something I should be able to figure out but can’t. I have a
Sargon model 652 DRO now on my lathe. (It has no numeric key pad). How
do I zero this thing so I can get a direct radius or diameter reading
for a bar I would be turning?

The radius is off by a factor of 2 and the diameter is off by a factor
of 4.

TIA
