display up into 5 segments, or quadrants. The measurement labels correspond to
the measurement at each hash mark.
G) Units Label - Displays the current quantity of measurement.
H) Hot Menus - Each of the fields located under the waveform display are called the
Hot Menu Fields . These fields allow quick control of some of the fine
adjustments needed to control the display settings, measurement modes, and
group memory control. All of these fields can be adjusted without having to
activate the tabbed menu items and searching through a variety of menus to
make adjustments.
I) Gate – Used to block signal noise, force detection on a specific waveform or
cycle, and view the threshold according to the waveform and signal amplitude.

The rectified A-Scan mode shows half of the waveform. Either the positive or
negative peaks are displayed, depending on the polarity selected.
It’s important to note that a measurement must fall inside the viewable display range
in order to see the waveform. However, even if the waveform is outside of the
viewable area, a measurement can be taken and viewed on the digital readout. If the
waveform is outside of the display range, you can manually change the range by
adjusting the
Delay and Width values, or you can use the Auto Find feature located
in the UTIL menu in the tabbed menu items. Refer to page 157 for additional
information on the Auto Find feature.
The following is a list of the viewable features on the display:
A) Stability of Reading Indicator – Indicates the stability of the return echo on a
scale of 1 to 6 – the solid bars displayed in the figure above indicate a repeatable
signal. If the
MAX II is displaying a reading from memory, the repeatability
indicator will be replaced by the text “MEM” .
