0.25 m increment
I think this means like 0.00 m, 0.25 m, 0.50 m, 0.75 m...
Note from asker:
| Thank you, Okada san. That makes sense. |

: I agree. The Japanese is talking about the increments available for the user to select from a drop-down menu on a user interface.

0.25m in pitch
Pitch, as in an angle or a steepness. I think it makes sense to translate this word directly since it is the unit that is being read from the gauge.
Peer comment(s):

Marc Ward
: I disagree, as 0.25mピッチで refers to the increments available in the drop-down menu rather than the angle itself.

Correct me if I am wrong, but these values are values for the gauge in question, which are selected from a pull-down menue. If that is the case, I would anticipate that they would still be 'pitch' values.

: The unit of measurement is meters, basically the height of waves/sea level with respect to some standard, so "pitch" as the unit here wouldn't make sense.
