Peak Hold
The peak hold function is similar to peak memory as it captures the current screen
when the function is accessed. The difference is that with peak hold, the captured
waveform is frozen on the screen and does not update even if the live waveform
exceeds the frozen waveform’s amplitude.
Peak hold is useful when you want to obtain a waveform from a known sample and
compare it to a waveform from an unknown test piece. Similarities and/or differences
in the waveforms can be noted to help determine the acceptance criteria for the
unknown material.
To activate peak hold
1.
Obtain an echo on the screen.
2.
Press
[2
ND
F]
,
[PEAK MEM] (PK HOLD)
.
This captures the screen and still allows viewing of the live waveform. The
symbol appears on the right side of the A-scan display indicating that the
function is active.
3.
Press

[PEAK MEM] (PK HOLD)
again to shut off the peak hold function.
5.4
Freeze
The freeze function holds, or freezes, the information on the screen at the moment you
press
[FREEZE]
. Once the freeze function is activated, the pulser/receiver of the
EPOCH 1000 Series becomes inactive and does not acquire any further data. A
symbol appears on the right side of the screen indicating that the function is active.
Press
[FREEZE]
again to restore the normal live display.
The freeze function is useful when storing waveforms as it holds the current A-scan
allowing the transducer to be removed from the test piece. Once the display is frozen,
you can use a variety of instrument functions. These include:
•
Gate movement: to position the gate(s) over area(s) of interest to obtain
measurement data.
•
Gain: to amplify signals of interest or to reduce the amplitude of signals when
high-scanning gain values are being used.
•
Range and delay: manipulating the time base to focus on area of interest. The total
instrument range can not be increased.
