“Do Calibration”
This message indicates that the active lookup table is either missing,
or is not valid for the type of probe connected to the gage. If you
know that the inactive table does match the probe, perform a ball
calibration to bring the inactive table forward. This message will
always appear when returning to Measure mode immediately after a
Measurement or Master Reset.

Diagnostics
The probe is reliable and durable when the following care is taken:
•
Do not drop the probe on hard surfaces
•
Do not hit the probe with any objects
•
Do not allow the probe to contact metal objects
•
Do not rub the probe tip over abrasive surfaces, such as ceramics
The user may perform a Keypad, Video Display, or Hardware
Diagnostic test from the keypad to aid in localizing a suspected gage
problem or simply to check functionality. For more detail about
performing these Diagnostics, see Section 5.5–5.5.3.

ROM Upgrades
The operation of the Magna-Mike 8500 is controlled in large part by
a program that is stored in a type of memory called Flash ROM. The
user can easily change the operating program by connecting the gage
to a personal computer, which allows Panametrics-NDT to offer
operating program revisions and upgrades on diskettes, or via e-mail
or FTP download.
