“VIRTUAL” FRONT PANEL CONTROLS
(Refer To Figure 11)
5.2 SCOPE SWEEP SPEED
- Variable scope sweep speed control. This control changes speed in
discreet steps.
5.2.1 VARIABLE SWEEP SPEED CONTROL
- Provides a continuous adjustment between the
discrete sweep speed steps.
5.3 SCOPE INTENSITY
- Adjusts the Scope’s CRT brightness. If intensity is set to high the traces
may appear to blur.
5.4 SCOPE FOCUS
- Adjusts the Scope’s CRT focus.
5.5 SCOPE TRACE ROTATION
- Screwdriver adjustment to refine horizontal alignment of scope
baseline traces.
5.6 POWER
- Rocker switch that turns the AC power on and off.
5.7 READOUT RANGE
- Selects thickness range over which gaging may be performed. Digital
gaging resolution (readout precision) depends upon range selection (±.0001" on Range, ±.001" on 10"
Range, ±.001mm on 10mm Range, ±.01mm on 100mm Range. Any range position can be used with
contact, delay line or immersion mode gaging.
5.8 READOUT CAL
- Calibration control for material thickness or ultrasonic velocity compensation.
5.9 ZERO
- A time-delay control for calibrating the readout at the thin end of the thickness range to
be gaged. Technically, it automatically compensates for
1)
inherent time delays in the electronics
2)
An extra half-cycle that is sometimes required in the T-GATE to produce the most reliable,
practical thickness readout.
3)
Slight mechanical variations in the transducer or probe used in a given inspection.
5.10 READOUT THICKNESS/VELOCITY SWITCH
- Sets instrument to gage thickness in
THICKNESS position and to measure material ultrasonic velocity of a known material thickness in the
VELOCITY position.
5.11 TRANSDUCER DAMPING
- Control that varies the electrical impedance across the transducer/
pulser/cable to help optimize the ultrasonic pulse waveshape for a given setup. Basically, it is adjusted
to provide the shortest echo pulses (minimum number of half cycles) with the least distortion of the
echo signal as well as minimum baseline noise.
5.12 TRANSDUCER T/R
- BNC connector for the ultrasonic transducer cable.
5.13 RECEIVER GAIN
- Control to manually change the receiver amplification level.
