2. Understanding the DMS 2 Keyboard, Menu System, and Displays
The DMS 2 is designed to measure remaining wall thickness in
all types of equipment that are prone to corrosion and/or
erosion, as well as in general thickness gauging applications.
The DMS 2 also stores the measurement data in an organized,
easy-to-access recording system. This chapter of your manual
will help you become more familiar with the many capabilities
of the DMS 2.
After reviewing this chapter, you’ll be able to
•
Recognize the instrument’s mode by looking at the display
(Section 2.1)
•
Access the DMS 2’s many features using the built-in menu
system (Section 2.2)
•
Interpret the symbols that most often appear on the display
(Section 2.3)
•
Understand the function of each key on the keypad
(Section 2.4)
After reviewing the material in this chapter, you’ll be able to
quickly access and adjust each of the DMS 2’s many features
to better configure the instrument to your specific measure-
ment and data-recording needs. You’ll also be able to make
better use of the detailed information found throughout the rest
of this instruction manual.
2.1
Recognizing Displays
The DMS 2 most often operates in one of three different
modes, each with it’s own application. These modes allow the
user to record and evaluate thickness measurement data in a
manner that’s tailored to the operator, to the material being
tested, and to the data-review needs. The three modes are:
TG (Thickness Gauge) Mode—Configures the instrument to
measure thickness in a wide variety of applications
Test Mode—Takes measurements, records thickness data,
and allows for modification of the testing process
DR (Data Recorder) Mode—Stores, organizes, and displays
measurement data to satisfy specific evaluation requirements
Different tasks are carried out in each of these three modes.
Because of the different nature of the tasks performed in each
mode, each instrument display also looks very different. Figure
2-1 shows how a typical display will appear in each of the three
modes. Some of the important features of the displays are
