ABS
calipers are equipped with a switching button to
toggle between absolute & incremental dimensions,
which is useful when comparing similar sized items. In
the pictorial above, this is demonstrated with two
bars, 20.00 & 20.02mm. |

ABS

at point 0.00mm |
20.02mm bar is inserted into jaws, and records a value
of 0.02mm |
ABS
button pressed again & caliper reverts to ABS mode |
