will appear over the fields of measurement, velocity, trigger and gain. 

 

Figure 2.4: Measuring screen in select / edit mode 

 

 

To select thickness measurement touch 

 

 

To select material velocity touch 

 

 

To select trigger touch 

  

 

To select gain touch 

 

 
Always use the 

-

 keys to edit the values in any given field and 

touch 

 to save. 

 
Trigger and gain can be edited while measuring. This allows you to see 
the  new  thickness  value  (resulting  from  the  changes  made  earlier  to 
the trigger and gain settings) to be displayed immediately.
