 – For the test item of "pipe" type, you can select units of measurement 

to be displayed for  the vertical axis; possible options are millimeters and degrees. This 
key changes over display modes between millimeters and degrees. 

 – Switching on or off of the legend. 

 – Horizontal axis scale change. You can navigate through this window 

in the similar manner as you do in the A-scan window (see the above description). 

 – Vertical axis scale change. You can navigate through this window in 

the similar manner as you do in the A-scan window (see the above description). 

 – Return of the C-scan display parameters to default settings. 

Insulation thickness

  

For correct operation of the Device, you shall set the insulation thickness for 

the test item. The window for setting the insulation thickness is shown in Figure 34.
