which a set of independent measures is launched, which can be stopped by the operator.
•
SAVE: enables/disables the automatic save of the measures. As already mentioned above, the tester
saves every set of measures when the single mode is activated, while only one value per any set of three
consistent measures is saved when the continuous mode is used. Moreover, in this case, the measure is
connected with an identification character that matches the measure to a “test”. Anytime a continuous test
begins, this character is increased.
•
GAIN: it adjusts the intensity of the ultrasonic impulse according to four different values (250V, 500V, 750V,
1000V)
•
LANGUAGE: it sets the active language by selecting it among the available ones (Italian, English, French,
German, Spanish)
•
SAMPLE: it sets the length (in units of time) of the sample to be used for the calibration.
•
CALIBRATION: it starts the calibration process hereunder described. It is activated by pressing the F1 key
until the cursor places itself on the writing provided and then by pressing F2.
The F4 key brings back to the main screen.
2.06 CALIBRATION
By selecting the appropriate entry of the configuration menu and by pressing the F2 key, it is possible to
perform a two-points calibration in order to achieve the highest possible level of precision on the performed
measures.
By starting the calibration, the following screen appears:
START CALIBRATION
EXIT
This screen suggests the operator should bring the probes in contact to measure the “zero” point of the
tester. In order to achieve a better mechanical contact between the probes, it is necessary to sprinkle the
contact surfaces with the appropriate product provided with the kit. Afterwards, press the F1 key to start the
reading or the F4 key to cancel the calibration.
As by a normal measure, the main screen will be displayed and the zero value which has been measured is
superimposed on it. In order to validate the measure, press the F1 key after that the reading has stabilized.
Afterwards the following screen is displayed:
START CALIBRATION
EXIT
This screen suggests the operator should put the cylindrical sample (provided with the kit) between the
probes in order to measure the second point of the characteristic curve. In order to obtain a better
