d. If the transducer is immersed in a bucket of water that is resting on
the floor, noise can be coupled into the ADFM. As such, you should
shield the bucket from the floor by inserting a piece of hard foam be-
tween the bucket and the floor.
e. If possible, you may also want to move the ADFM to a different
room, or at least to a different part of the lab to see if the fail condi-
tion goes away.
f. If after following the above procedure, your ADFM still fails the re-
ceive tests, contact MGD for assistance.
5-4.2 Receive Path Test
This test runs a through test on the ADFM’s receive path electronic cir-
cuits.
a. Start BBTALK . Press the
End
