Custom Setups For Single Element Transducers; Creating A Custom Setup For A Single Element Transducer - Olympus 38DL PLUS User Manual

13. Custom Setups for Single Element Transducers

The 38DL PLUS includes predefined setups for standard single element transducers.
In some cases, a 38DL PLUS ships from the factory preprogrammed with one or more
custom setups to meet special customer requirements. You can create your own
custom setups to meet the need of a particular single element transducer or for a
particular application. With predefined and custom setups you can quickly change
between transducer and application setups by selecting a previously saved setup.

13.1 Creating a Custom Setup for a Single Element Transducer

You should create a custom setup when the measurement requirements of a particular
application are not optimally met by one of the standard setups. Once adjustments are
made, you can name and store this setup in one of the 35 user-defined setup locations.
The adjustments described in the following procedure and subsections should be
made only by a qualified technician who is familiar with the basic theory of ultrasonic
gaging and the interpretation of ultrasonic waveforms.
Many of the adjustments that you can make in a setup are interactive. All of them
have an effect on the measurement range and/or measurement accuracy of the
38DL PLUS. In most cases, do not attempt adjustments without monitoring the
waveform. Additionally, when establishing a custom setup for a specific application,
it is essential to verify the performance on reference standards representing the
materials and thickness range to measure.
