Selecting The Transducer Type - DAKOTA ULTRASONICS MMX-7 Operation Manual

2.2 Selecting the Transducer Type

The MMX-7 is equipped with a transducer list of all of the dual element transducer
options that can be connected to the gauge. These are dual element transducers
with different diameters and frequencies, depending on the material and application
requirements. Transducers with an HD (high damped) designation are commonly
used in conjunction with E-E (echo-echo) through paint modes, while CPZT
(composite) are used for additional output with materials that are difficult to pass
sound through. Finally, the majority of the transducers listed in the table are standard
diameter/frequency transducers used in P-E (pulse-echo) mode. By selecting the
transducer type from a predefined list, the MMX-7 can recall specific properties about
the transducer.
Note: Once the transducer has been selected, the MMX-7 will store and recall this
transducer type every time the MMX-7 is powered on/off. The type will only change if
the user physically selects another transducer type from the list, or selects a
previously saved setup. You'll notice that the probe type previously selected will be
highlighted every time the probe type screen is displayed.
Use the following steps to select your transducer type:
1) Press the MENU key once to activate the menu items tab. Press the MENU
key multiple times to tab right and the ESC key multiple times to tab left until
the PRB menu is highlighted and displaying the submenu items.
2) Use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to scroll through the sub menu items
until TYPE is highlighted.
