A parameter setting method of a measuring instrument includes: reading model information, measurement-related setting items, and parameters corresponding to the setting items, which are stored in the measuring instrument, and temporarily storing the read data in a storage unit of a computer; displaying an appearance image of the measuring instrument corresponding to the model information on the screen and displaying icons for selecting an operation on the screen at predetermined positions of the appearance image on the screen in correlation with each other; displaying the setting item, which is able to be selected by an operation in the measuring instrument relevant to the predetermined position corresponding to the selected icon, on the screen when selection of the icon is received; receiving changing of the parameter corresponding to the setting item using the computer; and transmitting the changed parameter from the computer to the measuring instrument.

A facemask package integrated with a mask sizing ruler is disclosed. The package stores the masks of various sizes. The mask sizing ruler comprising a first measuring gauge element, a second measuring gauge element and one or more sizes indicated thereon. The sizes in the sizing ruler are determined by categorizing one or more precisely previously measured distance from at least two points on one or more human faces into one or more sizes based on at least one distance on one or more masks of one or more mask sizes. At least one distance on one or more masks of one or more mask sizes is proportional to the maximum vertical distance of the mask in unfolded state. A system and method for determining the sizes indicated on the mask ruler are also disclosed.
