MX-5 DL Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge

The Display
The numeric portion of the display consists of 4 complete digits
preceded by a leading "1", and is used to display numeric values, as well
as occasional simple words, to indicate the status of various settings.
When the MX-5 DL is displaying thickness measurements, the display will
hold the last value measured, until a new measurement is made.
Additionally, when the battery voltage is low, the entire display will begin to
flash. When this occurs, the batteries should be replaced.
These eight vertical bars form the Stability Indicator. When the MX-5
DL is idle, only the left-most bar and the underline will be on. While the
gauge is taking a measurement, six or seven of the bars should be on. If
fewer than five bars are on, the M X-5 DL is having difficulty achieving a
stable measurement, and the thickness value displayed will most likely be
erroneous.
