Abstract
A remote display device for displaying real time measurement values is configured to operate as a device in a metrology personal area network (“MPAN”) which also includes a dimensional metrology user interface device and one or more dimensional metrology measurement devices (e.g., calipers, etc.). In various implementations, the remote display device is configured to be operable in either a first mode (e.g., a slave mode) or a second mode (e.g., an independent mode). In a slave mode, the remote display device is responsive to control instructions that are received from the dimensional metrology user interface device to configure a display of real time measurement values from one or more of the measurement devices. In an independent mode, the remote display device is configurable to display real time measurement values from one or more of the measurement devices without receiving control instructions from the dimensional metrology user interface device.
