2.3 Installing a Phased Array Probe
NOTE: Modifying certain settings related to probe or
scan configuration will require a recalculation of the
delay laws. When such a change is made, the modi-
fied function will turn red, indicating that the effect of
this change will not take affect until the new delay-law
calculation is carried out. To command a calculation,
press and hold
for three seconds or access the
SCAN PATT Submenu and press next to the CALC
Function.
2.3.1 Connecting a Probe
When connecting a probe to the instrument, it’s not only
important that the probe’s physical connection be properly
made, but that the instrument is properly configured to
work with the installed probe. To install a phased array
probe, connect it to the front of the instrument. Be sure
to install it with the probe cable facing up and to operate
the probe-release lever as shown in
Figure 2-2 .
