DRO Mounting System

[Susquatch]

Holy smokes Darren! I just saw your post. I will have to look more closely at the screen where you choose the machine. Yours has a "decimals" choice right there! Maybe mine does too and I just missed it.

Let me look again.

Ps - your display looks VERY similar to mine!

They are both Ditron D80's

Mine is a Ditron too. Just not sure that it's a D80.

Is the manual available on-line or can you post a copy? I can't control the number of displayed digits on mine either but the anti-vibration setting sure helps.

Send me a PM with your email address and I'll email you what I have. It's what they gave me when I was shopping and asking questions. I can't seem to post it and not sure that would be wise anyway......

I just confirmed. Mine is a Ditron D80 - so same as yours.

Can't wait to try the digits command.

Also nice to know ours are the same. We can compare notes whenever needed.

I am feeling like a kid not able to play in the same sand box I don’t have a Ditron 80 like you cool kids - bummer

Ok, I tested it @dfloen.

It WORKED!

Not only that, but I deliberately tested rounding up and down and it works as hoped too! It doesn't just truncate, it rounds!

THANK YOU DARREN!

I know you don't need it anymore, but here is a link to that Ditron D80 manual in case you or anyone else does ever want it.

Ya but they don't have the big super-cool red&white yacht you cruise around in

I must say the colors & contrast & sharpness of the modern displays are nice compared to the CRT look of the oldies. Hopefully they provide years of trouble free service.

What do you have?

Newall. Many years old now before all this stuff became inexpensive.

They are actually MUCH NICER than the photos show. Something about the way the screen display works messes with the camera. In reality they are very crisp with fantastic contrast. I cannot complain at all.

Ya, my red & white yacht is stuck on that sand bar with a few operational challenges.....

Rather than hi-Jack this thread more than I already have, I'm gunna start a new thread specifically to deal with mounting everything.
