Main (dB):
This screen will display the Record number, Decibel, Frequency, Sensitivity
Level and an Intensity Level box. The Intensity Level box also acts as the Sensitivity
Control. This will be explained below, there are two control arrows on the right to be used
to adjust or change the sensitivity, frequency, record number and emissivity.
a.
To change the Frequency: touch the kHz (frequency), when a highlight appears
around the selected area then use the UP/DOWN arrows to adjust.
b.
To change the Sensitivity: touch the sensitivity value, when a highlight appears
around the selected area then use the UP/DOWN arrows to change. You will see the
change in the sensitivity value in the upper left of the screen. An alternative to using
the arrows is to use the intensity level box, which uses a bar graph to indicate
intensity. Tap the box in either the high (right) or low (left) area of the box until the
Sensitivity value (S=) changes as needed).
c.
To change to different Record Number: touch the Record Number, when a highlight
appears around the selected area then use the then use the UP/DOWN arrows to the
desired location.
d.
To save the data, touch the bottom of the screen and locate the save icon, touch save,

Viewing changes in Decibel Levels
:
To view decibel levels the Ultraprobe must be in the active scan mode
. Pull the
trigger in to activate the active scan mode. To freeze the data for storage, while
