B-Scan; Provides a time-based, cross-sectional view of the
material being tested. Readings taken, saved readings, the
highest (Hi), lowest (Lo) and average (
X
) reading together with
upper and / or lower limit values (if set and enabled) are
displayed.
The material thickness is illustrated
by grey and red shaded areas; red if
readings are outside limits (if set and
enabled). Readings which are saved
into the gauge or batch memory are
displayed as white or red vertical
bars; red if readings are outside limits
(if set and enabled).
The B-Scan vertical scale can either be set to 'Auto' or the user
can set the scale most appropriate for the thickness of the
material under test.
When the ‘Start Depth’ and ‘Max Depth’ are both set to 'Auto',
the scaling is determined by the minimum and maximum
readings taken.

1 Press Display/Setup Display/B-Scan Scaling/B-Scan Start
(or ‘B-Scan Depth’ as required).
