Using the B-Scan Alarm Mode

You can specify B-scan low and high alarm reference values, and turn the visual and

are shown in the B-scan grid if the alarm reference values fall within the B-scan
thickness range. The alarms are also operational as you review B-scan thicknesses in
review mode within a frozen B-scan.
