5.1
OVERVIEW OF USE
After setting up the hardware, and placing the hand-held probe for testing, the user is ready
to begin using the software. To setup the WTD: see Section 3.
To perform the wedge tightness testing, the WTD needs examples of a tight wedge and a
loose wedge in order to set the appropriate data analysis and processing parameters. These
reference values are stored in a calibration file and may be selected or created. See Sections
3.3 and 5.4 for more details.
The first step before testing the wedges for tightness is either to create or open a unit, or
create a calibration file.
