Freezing Waveforms

Pressing [FREEZE] stops updating the displayed waveform and keeps the waveform
and thickness on the display even if you move or uncouple the transducer. The freeze
indicator ( ) appears on the right side of the waveform display when the freeze
function is active.
The freeze function is convenient to easily set the gain parameters, review a B-scan, or
perform a high temperature measurement, without having to maintain the transducer
coupled to the test piece.
You may also want to use the freeze function to pause measurements before
uncoupling the transducer from the test piece, to prevent recording wrong minimum
or maximum values.
To freeze the waveform and thickness display
1. Press [FREEZE] while making a measurement.
2. Press [FREEZE] again to unfreeze the waveform and thickness display.
NOTE
Pressing [MEAS] or [SAVE/SEND] also unfreezes the display.
