When you measure contact auto features, the feature ID and hit count appear in the wrist display. The hit count shows the number of hits taken followed by the number of hits required. For example, 0/4 indicates 0 hits taken and 4 hits required.
Sample Hits
When the contact auto feature contains sample hits, the sample hits are first measured followed by the feature hits. The sample hit count has an asterisk (*) and the wrist display highlights it in yellow showing it is the focus measurement. The display updates the number of hits taken during the measurement process.
When you complete all the sample hit measurements, the hit count turns green.
