3.13.2 Record the Reference Echo that Defines the DGS Curve (cont.)
Note:
The AUTO 80 function automatically sets the Gate A triggering echo to 80% of full screen height.
Note:
Only one DGS reference echo can be stored at a time. To delete the currently stored reference, access the REF CORR submenu,
select DELETE REF , and follow the on-screen prompts.
Note:
When a DGS reference echo is stored, two measurement result boxes are automatically set, if not already configured, to display SA
and A%A values.
IMPORTANT:
The following two adjustments should be made prior to recording a reference echo. Changing these values after the DGS
curve is generated will cause the curve to be deleted.
•
REF ATTEN
(found in the REF CORR submenu) - Specify a sound attenuation value, in dB per inch or mm of material thickness, for the
material from which the known standard is made.
•
AMPL CORRECT
(found in the REF CORR submenu) - Correction required when using an angle-beam type probe. This value is
specified on the probe data sheet.
