- Page 9 5.2 RF A-SCAN MEASUREMENT SCREEN (CG70ABDL only) The RF view shows the full sound wave as received by the gauge. The vertical axis indicates the amplitude of the received wave and the horizontal position indicates the time it is received, which is converted into thickness units using the material velocity.
- Page 10 • Use the Auto Find function - see ‘Auto Find (CG70ABDL only)” on page 14. Note: Even if the waveform is outside of the viewable range of the display, a measurement can be taken and viewed using the DIGITS view.

Page 12: Setting Up The Gauge
7 SETTING UP THE GAUGE 7.1 SELECTING THE TRANSDUCER TYPE MANUALLY Follow these steps to select your transducer type. 1. Select MENU/PROBE/TYPE and press ENTER 2. Scroll through the transducer list until the appropriate transducer is highlighted. 3. Press ENTER to select the transducer. 4. - Page 13 For the highest measurement accuracy use the known thickness calibration as this takes into account variation in material composition, temperature and a variety of other factors. 7.3.1 Known Material Calibration If the material velocity is unknown, and a sample thickness cannot be taken from the material, you can choose a material type from a list stored in the gauge.

Page 14: Taking Readings
Two - Point calibration 1. Conduct a one point calibration routine as described previously in this section. You should conduct this routine at the high end of the measurement range 2. Repeat the routine with another sample at the low end of the measurement range, except this time enter the thickness into the TWO POINT area in the CAL menu. -

• PEAK - Enables the Flaw Mode and Peak Hold options and view. When this option is enabled, the peak hold symbol is displayed on the right side of the display (to reset to zero, press CLR). 4. Press MEAS to return to the measurement screen. Note: When flaw mode is activated, a transducer delay will still be configured from the previously loaded transducer. - Page 19 The grid can have a maximum of 52 columns and 999 rows 4. Set the Auto Increment direction. This option allows you to select which direction the cursor moves after a reading is stored in terms of compass points. For example NORTH would move the cursor up a row, and WEST would move a column left.
