thickness values with minimal error. If the thicknesses are not correct, repeat
the steps above.
Basic Material Type
If the material velocity is unknown, a sample thickness cannot be taken directly from
the material, but the general type of material is known, selecting a basic material type
from the common material
(MATL)
list in the
ZX-5
would offer a reasonable
approximation of the thickness. There are 9 common materials and 2 user
programmable settings available. It’s important to note that these velocities will not
always be an exact representation of the material being tested. Use these values
only if a close approximation is acceptable. Follow the steps below to select a basic
material type:
Selecting a Basic Material Type
1) Press the
key to access the material list. The edit icon will be
illuminated and flashing.
2) Use the
