SETTING UP FOR MEASUREMENT
4.1 Selecting Display View
The
DFX-7
includes a variety of viewing options for the waveform display. There are
three primary options waveform options with selectable polarity. These are all outline
below as follows:
Radio Frequency (RF):
Displays the entire sine wave signal, much like an
oscilloscope, from a reflector or return echo. This view shows both the positive and
negative peaks.
Rectified (RECT):
Displays half sine wave signal, either positive or negative, from
the reflector or return echo. The user can select the polarity or “phase” displayed.
This is typically determined by first using
RF
view to select the most optimal polarity
“phase”, to fine tune the scopes settings. The
RECT
view is commonly used as the
primary “flaw detection” view.
Full Wave (RECTFW):
Display entire sine wave signal in a rectified view. There is
no polarity.
The following procedure outlines the steps to select the view:
