GETTING STARTED

• The original intent for the Scalex planwheel was to measure distances on architectural drawings or maps. By setting the scale factor on wheel to match your drawing or map, and rolling the wheel along a line, the measurement will be displayed.
• The planwheel can be helpful if you are measuring a large quantities of items.
• Scalex software will need to be installed locally.
• No batteries are needed for the device. The planwheel will turn on and run from a USB port.
• In the Scalex Ready Connect window click on Scale, click on Ratio & Metric (1:1-1:90) and select the 1:10 ratio.
• Click on Units and select centimeters (cm). Although, the Copy Measure field will display centimeters (cm), the measurements will be converted to millimeters (mm) because of the ratio shown in the Scale field. The Kasemake machine uses mm for measurements.
• The display on the Scalex device should show:
  • Measurement and units (top right): 0.0 cm
  • Sense (lower left above Scale factor): +-
  • Scale factor (below Sense +-): 1:10
• To turn off the beeping noise of the planwheel off, hold down CLEAR and press SQ/CU.
• The planwheel should be firmly clicked into place on the measuring box gauge with the display facing away from you.
   

RECORDING MEASUREMENTS WITH SCALEX

• With the Scalex in place, slide the gauge all the way to the short side of the measuring box.
• In the Scalex Ready Connect window, click on Zero to set the Copy Measure field to 0, and you are ready take your measurements. 
• Copy Count field should display 0. This button and field will not be used.
• Slide the gauge to the right with slight pressure on the knob to ensure the planwheel remains in constant contact with the surface of the measuring box.
• Before copying your measurement into the Book Measure fields, confirm that the measurement it is correct by looking at the end of the Reading strip protruding from the right side of the gauge. If the planwheel loses contact with the surface of the measuring box it could be incorrect. The measurements should be within 1-2 mm of each other.
• Click your cursor in the Book Measure field you would like to record the measurement.
• Finally, click on Copy Measure. Your measurement will appear in the field.
