Abstract
Disclosed is a measurement system having multiple display orientations. The measurement system comprises a reader head having a reader element, and a display module. The reader element is configured for lateral movement with respect to a calibrated reference member for making a measurement relative to a reference position on the calibrated reference member. The display module is for displaying a measurement and includes coupling hardware for connecting the display module to the reader head so that the display module can be read horizontally independent of whether the reader head is oriented horizontally, vertically, or in some other direction.
