IMPORTANT
When using generic dual element transducers, you need to determine the exact
thickness range over which you will measure. The minimum and maximum
thicknesses are highly dependent on:
•
Frequency of the transducer
•
Material being tested
•
Roof angle of the transducer
•
Delay material in the transducer
•
Signal noise in the transducer
Olympus cannot guarantee the accuracy or performance with non-D79X transducers.
The user assumes all responsibility for assuring that the generic dual element
transducer is performing properly and is suitable for the application.
To build a V-path correction for a nonstandard dual element transducer
1.
Ensure that the transducer is not coupled to the test material and that there is no
couplant on the tip to the transducer.
2.
Press [2nd F], [CAL ZERO] (Do ZERO) to perform the transducer zero
calibration.
3.
To ensure that the instrument properly detects echoes:
a) Press [RANGE] until the range value is higher than the maximum thickness
of the test block.
b) Couple the transducer to the thickest test block step, and then press [GAIN]
to adjust the gain so that the instrument properly detects the back-wall echo,
and then ensure that there are no noise signals above 20 % of the screen
height.
