Hold Mode
Holds display to retain last thickness reading with reverse video display
Freeze Mode
Freezes display (ideal for high-temperature readings)
Fast Min/Max Mode
Displays Min or Max and actual thickness value at 20 measurements/sec
Units
Inches/Millimeters/Microseconds
Alarms
Audible beeping; illuminate flashing display and keypad; and vibration feedback
Illuminating Keypad
F1 = Red, F2 = Yellow, F3 = Green for easy, go/no-go testing
Gain – Variable adjustment
In 1dB steps from 20-90dB or Automatic Gain Control (AGC) for waveform
B-Scan – Displays a cross-section of the test piece
Displays a visual cross-section of the inspection area with no correlation to distance. B-Scan alarm colors consist of: Red = below minimum/above maximum; Yellow = Caution; and Green = Good.
Echo to Echo
Measure the metal thickness only (paint & coatings do not affect base material thickness value)
Differential Mode
Displays the difference from the actual thickness measurement and a user-entered reference value
Velocity Mode
Displays acoustic sound speed to measure the thickness of unknown materials
Datalogger
Stores 50k readings (expandable to 100k) and 5,000 waveforms; file names up to 20 characters long; and the included Extech XPorter software extracts .csv data files that can be opened for viewing in MS Excel, Notepad, or Wordpad. File compare & grid review
Range
Adjustment of manual range control or auto-zoom tracking to center echoes independent of the selected range
Rectification Modes
RF, Half Wave Positive, Half Wave Negative and Full Wave Rectification
Live Waveform (A-Scan)
Full adjustments for gain in 1dB step or AGC, main bang blank, blank after first received echo, the range including zoom auto-tracking to center echoes independent of material and rectification
Battery Life
8 to 14hrs (depends on operating conditions)
