I have a Colchester Student lathe with Mitutoyo PLL-32L Digital readout , I have recently moved premises and have mislaid the manual for the readout. I know mostly how to use the DRO but one procedure I can't remember is how to clear the parameters after a power cut or being switched off , there is a set order for pressing buttons which I believe is on either page 11 or section 11 of the manual that covers clearing parameters. I can get to the point of setting zero on X &Z but clearing the parameters put the DRO into counting mode.

Does anyone have a manual ( No 029599 ) Series 164 for PLL-32L that they could look in ?

Thanks

It may be worth contacting Mitutoyo for the info if no one has a manual. I have found them helpful if a little slow in the past. The other option is a search for a manual supplier but they charge the earth.
