Battery Type

Selects the type of batteries used in the Gage from a choice of Alkaline, Lithium or
NiMH (nickel-metal hydride rechargeable). The battery state indicator symbol is
calibrated for the selected battery type. No damage will occur if the battery type used in
the Gage does not match the selected battery type.

Sound

Adjusts the volume of built-in speaker (Off, Low, Medium, High).

SmartCouple

When selected, the probe, once coupled, will remain coupled until the (+) button is
pressed. Eliminates unintentional decoupling.
During scanning operations, the probe can become decoupled (physically separated
from the material), either due to the rough and/or scaly surface of the material or due to
user operation.
When this happens, analysis of the material stops and statistics are displayed for only
that portion of the surface to which the probe was coupled. If the probe re-couples on
purpose or accidentally, statistical values are reset to zero, and a new measurement
analysis session begins.
Due to the physical decoupling of the probe, the Gage may output two or more
independent measurement sessions. If the intention was to measure the maximum and
minimum thicknesses continuously, erroneous indications may result due to the physical
decoupling of the probe from the material.
Smart Couple mode maintains a continuous measurement session regardless of
whether the probe becomes physically decoupled from the material, and analyzes the
thickness values of the material at all locations where the probe was coupled.
This mode of operation provides a number of advantages. For example, the user can
make multiple passes between various points of a material to be measured, and not
have to actively concentrate on ensuring that the probe is physically coupled to the
material. The user can therefore focus on the material itself, rather than the instrument,
or can focus more closely on the measurement results displayed on the display. In
addition, it provides higher accuracy and faster scanning, since the user does not have
to stop and record between different scanning operations. The user can deliberately lift
the probe and scan a new area knowing that all results will be analyzed as if they were
from one continuous scan.
