12.9 Automatic Echo Optimization
The
MAX II
is equipped with a built in Auto Set feature for echo optimization. The
Auto Set
uses a variety of algorithms, evaluating the positive and negative and
negative cycles, and selects the best phase (polarity) to use for measurement. It also
optimizes the gain, sets the delay and width, and activates and sets the gate
accordingly. Use of this feature will save the user a great deal of time in the
measurement process. In order to use the
Auto Set
properly, an approximate length
of the bolt must be entered into the
MAX II
. The approximate length tells the
MAX II
where to start looking for the echo. The
MAX II
will search
+/- 5%
from the value
entered. The following procedures outline the
Auto Set
feature.
Setting the Approximate Length using the Hot Menus
1) Press the
MEAS
key once to activate measure menu items. Press the
MEAS
key multiple times to move down and the
ESC
key multiple times to
move up, until the
ALEN
cell is highlighted. Alternatively, press the
UP
and
DOWN
arrow keys multiple times using the left button wheel.
