Introducing QUIKRULER

Congratulations for purchasing the GTCO

QuikRuler. QuikRuler is a portable measuring

system that is perfect for estimators, builders,

contractors, surveyors, scientists, planners,

designers, appraisers, and anyone else who

needs to take measurements from blueprints,

maps, diagrams, and other drawings.

With QuikRuler, you can quickly measure areas,

perimeters, and lengths, using any scale and

unit of measure. You can perform more complex

measurements by adding or subtracting areas

and lengths. The built-in measurement functions,

combined with QuikRuler's calculator, make

QuikRuler an indispensable tool. And with the

optional PC interface, you can send results

directly from the QuikRuler display to your PC,

for use in a spreadsheet or estimating package.

Best of all, you don't need any special

experience or training to use QuikRuler. Simply

select an option from the QuikRuler menu, touch

the stylus or cursor to the drawing, and read the

result on the QuikRuler display.

Starting QuikRuler

QuikRuler starts up when you connect the power

supply. If the start-up was successful, you

should hear four short beeps from the digitizer

and, after the sign-on messages, line 1 of the

display should read Select from Menu. Line 2

of the display will show the current X-axis and Y-

axis position of the stylus and a number

indicating the status of the stylus switches. If the

stylus is over the menu, the numbers will be

replaced by minus signs (- -----,-----) or, if the

stylus is not in the tablet's measuring area, the

numbers will be replaced by asterisks

(* *****,*****).

Press the tip of the stylus on a menu function

button to begin using QuikRuler.
