IP SUPPRESSION
(IP-SUP)
Frequently transducers exhibit a broad roll off at the Initial Pulse. The IP Suppression can
frequently compensate for this thereby permitting measurements closer the initial pulse when in
Contact Mode. In many cases, a fine tuned setup will permit readings as thin as 0.020" using a 5
MHz 1/4" Transducer.
MEASUREMENT TIME
(MEAS-TIM)
Measurement Time is a unique feature generally used in Delay Line
Transducer Measurements. In the figure to the left we have used a
standard NDT Systems, D11 Transducer. Currently the gage is
triggering on the 2
nd
delay line multiple which is of no value and could
potentially cause operator confusion when actual measurements
approach the delay end. Therefore, the MEAS-TIM control acts like a
blocking gate except but acts on the tail end of the measured zone.
The area we highlighted in the figure is an area to block out. When
this is done, any time the probe is coupled it will read over range
rather than a fixed reading to the delay end.
DISPLAY MENU
FREEZE
When activated stops any screen activity and “holds” whatever was
on the screen at the time the freeze option was selected. Activate the
function by using the ENTER key.
CONTRAST
(CNTRST)
Using the up and down arrow keys, adjust the display to provide
optimal personal viewing.
BACKLIGHT
(BKLT)
Turns the backlight to AUTO, ON or OFF. Auto will turn the backlight
on while making measurements. OO will turn the backlight on continuously
and OFF will leave the backlight off at all time. It is recommended to leave
the setting set to off if using the gage in high ambient light conditions. This
will conserve battery life. You will not notice any better viewing while
having the backlight on in high ambient light conditions.
The Following Features are NEW and Unique Productivity Features.
Note the figure to the left. You will note there are two traces annotated ‘A’
& ‘B’. The top trace ‘A’ is called the MAIN Trace Window. The Lower
Trace, ‘B’ is known as the Tracking Window. Also, take note of the Vertical
Cursors. The area between these Cursors is the section of the echo which
will be automatically Zoomed as well as Tracked. Meaning, as the echo
moves left and right on the Main Trace, the actual area of the echo is
Tracked to show the half cycle the gage is triggering on.
SIZE
Pressing the up and down arrow key will resize the ratio of the Main
Trace Window to the Tracking window. Pressing the Up Arrow in-
creases the Main Window size until there would only be one A-Trace
Screen presented, representing the Main Trace Window with no
Tracking window. Conversely, if you press the Down Arrow Key, the
Tracking window will increase in size, relative to the Main Trace. In this case the Track window
