Now setup the probe. Each probe sold with each Sonic Meter has a unique sensitivity value. Because of this, the probe sensitivity value will have to be changed whenever the probe is switched among meters or a probe has been replaced due to damage. If this is not done, the accuracy of the measured value will change by a small amount. -
