1. INTRODUCTION
First and foremost we at NDT Systems, Inc would like to thank you for your purchase of the
NEW
TG400 full featured miniature A-Scan Precision Thickness Gage.
As you may have concluded, this manual contains a lot of various information. You do not necessarily
have to read the whole manual in order to use the TG400. Much of the information is presented in a
tutorial fashion to aid in the understanding of specific applications.

The Table of Contents of this manual is actually a TABLE/INDEX. Each menu item is mentioned
here for quick easy access to a description of the menu item you may have a question with.

Chapter 2 deals with the menu, structure a description of the features. This would be
recommended reading. There are a few images to help you better understand the concepts.
C
Chapter 3 & 4 is where the features are described in more detail through tutorials on various
methods of operation. You will also find this chapter help teach how to select the best
transducer for the application. Keep in mind that the proper transducer selection
IS
the heart of
the inspection, and the key to optimum performance of the TG400’s (or any other ultrasonic
instrument’s) use. The wrong transducer can be compared to putting a 2" speaker on a 100 watt
Macintosh receiver/amp in a stereo system. It may be the best system but it’s going to sound
lousy!
Again, thank you for your purchase of the TG400.
