3.3 Connecting a probe
To prepare the USM 100 for operation, you have to con-
nect a probe to it. Any Waygate Technologies probe can
be used for the USM 100, provided the appropriate ca-
ble is available and the operating frequency is within an
adequate range.
ATTENTION
If a probe is connected incorrectly, the con-
sequence would be a mismatching which
may lead to considerable power losses or
even to echo waveform distortions.
The probe is connected to the sockets on the right side
of the instrument.
Connect a single element probe with the T/R socket (2).
Connect a dual element probe (having one transmitter
or pulser element and one receiver element) or two
probes (of which one is transmitting and the other one
receiving) with the
T/R socket (2) and the R socket (1).
Observe the correct assignment of the cables :
R (red ring) – receiver (1)
T/R (black ring) – transmitter/receiver (2)
