Selecting the Right Probe
The performance of any thickness gauge, and its ability to get a
reliable measurement depends on selecting the right ultrasonic
probe for the application and conditions. Cygnus gauges are
therefore offered with a selection of probes suitable for most
thickness gauging applications.
The following section helps you select the right probe for the
application.
The gauge must be set for the probe connected to it.
The probe type is displayed at the top of the measurement screen
in the status area.
Probe Type set to S2C.
