the unit return to the unit after travelling along the electric
circuit that is composed of: unit - probe cord – file holder -
file - patient - lip holder - probe cord. The impedance of the
electric circuit may be changed depending on the distance
between the end of a file and the apex of the root canal,
which results in a change in the micro signals that are
input back into the unit. The microprocessor of the unit
calculates the change in micro signals to convert the
difference into a distance value, which will be displayed
on the Apex ID LCD display.
