13.8 Echo Window

The echo window is the time interval after each main bang during which the
instrument is enabled to detect echoes. The echo window interval begins at the end of
the main bang blank. The echo window ends x µs following the main bang in mode 1,
or x µs following the interface blank in mode 2 and mode 3.
In mode 1, you can usually set the echo window to any value greater than the round-
trip pulse transit time in the thickest or slowest piece of material to be measured (see
Figure 13-11 on page 234). The exact setting is not critical as long as it is long enough
to include the farthest echo of interest.
