Abstract:
There is provided a test indicator with which a correct measurement value can be easily obtained. A test indicator includes a gauge head including a contact ball at a tip end, a body case which pivotally supports the gauge head, and a rotary encoder which detects a rotation displacement amount of the gauge head. The test indicator further includes a correction unit which corrects a measurement value according to an angle θ between a measurement target surface W and the gauge head. The correction unit includes an angle memory which stores the angle θ between the measurement target surface W and the gauge head, a correction coefficient calculation unit which calculates a correction coefficient according to the angle θ, and a correction arithmetic unit which multiplies, by the correction coefficient, a displacement amount of the contact ball based on a detection value by the rotary encoder.
