8.10 Probe Diameter & Frequency
The
PROB
feature was added to improve linearity when using a specific probe
diameter and frequency. The default standard setting is
(.25 5)
0.250” 5MHz Hi
Damped
, and works reasonably well using a general correction curve for all of our
dual element transducers in the range. However, selecting the exact diameter and
frequency of the transducer will offer additional linearity (accuracy). The five options
found in our range of transducers are (.18 5, .18 7, .25 5, .25 7, .50 3, .50 5),
diameter followed by frequency (inches). All of our transducer diameters and
frequencies are marked on top of the transducer housing.
The procedure to select the probe/transducer diameter and frequency is outlined
below:
