Functions of keys:
«
» - this key is used to turn the thickness gauge ON and OFF.
When the gauge is turned ON, it will first perform a brief display test by
illuminating all of the segments in the display. After one second, the gauge will
display the internal software version number. After that, the display will show
"0.000" (or "0.00" if metric units were used for measurements before the last
switch-off of the instrument), indicating the gauge is ready for use.
The thickness gauge is turned OFF by pressing the ON/OFF key. All settings are
saved after the gauge has been turned off.
The gauge also features an auto-powerdown mode designed to conserve the
battery life. If the gauge is idle for 5 minutes, it will automatically turn itself off.
«
» - this key is used to "zero" the thickness gauge (delay calibration in the
wedge of piezoelectric transducer together with hardware delays).
