User-friendly operator interface
All versions of the DM5E have the same user-friendly
operator keypad interface. This has a central
mode key, a calibration/on/off key, two function
arrow keys to activate and set functional control
and four arrow keys for adjusting parameter values
and for navigating through the intuitive single-level
menu. The keypad allows access to all calibration,
set-up and measurement display modes of the
instrument. With the DL version, a file display mode
allows users to create and store thickness readings
in files. All calibration is menu-driven and the
operator is guided through every step. There is
a built-in calibration reminder, which can be set to
remind the user to calibrate after a specified number
of measurements or after a given time period.
New range of high-performance
probes
A new set of ultrasonic probes has been developed
for the DM5E family to provide the instruments with
optimized performance, even at very high temp-
eratures. The DA5xx series includes a 5-MHz
standard probe for general purpose applications, a
2-MHz version for high penetration and a 7.5-MHz
fingertip probe. A newly developed 5-MHz
high-temperature probe offers an operating range
from -10°C up to +204°C. (Standard probes
operate to 70°C.)
