very noisy aluminum, or granular cast iron.  This would be a good time to change the 

PR-8V

 to low gain setting and see if the reading settles down and become stable. 

   
How do I know when to increase the gain?  Often times the user will be trying to 
measure a material that is hard to penetrate or pass sound through.  This may be 
due to the material type, or overall thickness of the material.  When a material is hard 
to pass sound through because of the thickness or general make-up, it would be a 
good time to consider switching the 

PR-8V

 into a high gain setting.  In any case, the 

selectable gain settings offer the user some additional options to resolve application 
issues. 

Note:

  When the echo-echo thru-paint measurement mode is selected, the gain 

manual gain feature is disabled and grayed out in the menu items.  In this mode, the 

PR-8V

 switches to an automatic gain mode 

(AGC)

, that optimizes the gain setting 

automatically in the hardware of the 

PR-8V

. 

 
The procedures to adjust the 

Gain

 are outlined below: 

 

Adjusting the Gain using the Hot Menus 

 

1)  Press the 

MEAS

 key once to activate measure menu items.  Press the 

MEAS

 key multiple times to move right, and the 

ESC

 key multiple times to 

move left until the 

GAIN

 cell is highlighted. 

2)  Press the 

UP

, 

DOWN

, 

LEFT

, and 

RIGHT

 arrow keys to scroll the highlighted 

value. 

3) 

 Alternatively

, press the 

ENTER

 key to display the 

Digits Edit Box

. 

4)   Press the 

UP

 and 

DOWN

 arrow keys to scroll the highlighted value. 

5)  Press the 

LEFT

 and 

RIGHT

 arrow keys to scroll the digit locations. 

6)  Repeat steps 

4 & 5

 until the 

GAIN

 value is correctly displayed.
