2.10
a)
Calibration Function
Standard Calibration
When WorkMode is Normal, go to the CAL main menu, select 1 Point or 2Points in CalOption.
I. 1 Point is for zero calibration only, generally a test block with known acoustic velocity and
thickness is used for calibration. Steps are as follows:
1
Set the thickness of Ref1.
Place the probe on the test block with the corresponding thickness.
Ensure that the coupling between the probe and the test block is good, adjust the gain,
range and gate A, and bring gate A to record the first echo of Ref1.
Go to CAL sub-menu, press
to run calibration.
If the calibration is finished successfully, a prompt message will be displayed in the

information prompt area.
II. 2Points is for zero and velocity calibration. Usually two test blocks with known but different
thickness are used for calibration. Steps are as follows:
1
Set the thickness of Ref1 and Ref2.
Place the probe on the test block with the thickness of Ref1.
to confirm the measured value of Ref1.
Place the probe on the test block with the thickness of Ref2.
to confirm the measured value of Ref2 and run
calibration.
8
If the calibration is finished successfully, a prompt message will be displayed in the

information prompt area.
b)
Fast Zero Calibration
When WorkMode is Normal, press
to enter the simple operation interface. Here are the

15

zero calibration steps:
1)
Adjust the waveform and the gate, and bring gate A to record the first echo of the test
block on the system.
2)
Press
to run zero calibration.
Note 1: Calibration can only be performed when WorkMode is Normal. When performing
the above calibration, use AutoSearch for quick adjustment, if necessary turn off AutoSearch for
manual precise adjustment.
Note 2: Quick zero calibration should be performed on the test block on the system.
When calibration is finished, you may begin to measure. See Chapter 3 for General thickness
measurement workflow.
2.11
AutoSearch and FloatingGain Functions
2.11.1 AutoSearch
When using dual-element probe , with this function quick waveform search and adjustment can
be carried out subject to waveform signals received. The AutoSearch function provides a shortcut
for quick system adjustment and then performs measurement based on the waveform signals of
the measured thickness. Such function includes: adjusting DisplayDelay, Range, Gain and gate
measurement. However, AutoSearch cannot replace manual adjustment completely, which is also
subject to probe selection, as well as material, thickness and surface status of work piece. If
AutoSearch function can not achieve proper capture for measurement, please turn off the
AutoSearch function, but adjust manually for measurement.
Operation:
When using dual-element probe, turn on the AutoSearch function in the MEAS main menu, or
press
(provided
is defined as AutoSearch) to activate the function.
When WorkMode is Normal, through search by the software, bring gate A to record the first echo,
and increase autogain of the first peak of the echo to 80%.
When WorkMode is Thru-Coating, through search by the software, bring gate A to record the
first echo, and increase the autogain of the max. Echo peak to 80%, and gate B will auto record
the second echo.
16

Note:
1.
When using single-element probe, AutoSearch function in Normal and Through-Coating

work modes can only have gain automatic adjustment within gate A.
2.
When EchoToEchoMode is selected, the AutoSearch function is disabled. The gain

automatic adjustment can only work by FloatingGain function.
3.
The AutoSearch function is default to auto search continuously after bootup. It can be
set to auto search once, that is to run auto search once only upon each bootup. Select
AutoSearch from the main menu MEAS, press the shift button
between Continue and One. Press
2.11. 2
or
and toggle
to switch between start or stop.
FloatingGain
When FloatingGain is on, gate A or gate B can perform FloatingGain function (only for ThruCoating mode and EchoToEchoMode). When WorkMode is Normal, the system will
automatically bring the first wave peak amplitude within gate A to 80% height. When
WorkMode is Thru-Coating mode or EchoToEchoMode, the system will automatically bring
the highest wave peak amplitude within selected gate to 80% height.
This function can not be activated with AutoSearch function at the same time.
Note: When AutoSearch or FloatingGain is on, the maximum value of self-adjusting gain
is
limited by the MaxSearchGain. By adjusting this set value, users can define the
maximum value of self-adjusting gain. If this value is set too high, it may search the
clutter signal. If this value is set too low, it may not search the desired signal. Specific
settings need to be adjusted based on factors such as probe and workpiece.
2.12
WorkMode
There are three work modes for selection: Normal, Thru-Coating and EchoToEchoMode.
a)
When WorkMode is Normal, the measurement reading is the measurement value

between the display zero and the zero-crossing before the first peak higher than
GAThresh (the position is auto tracked by the small upside down triangular symbol). See
Fig. a below.
b)
When WorkMode is Thru-Coating, the measurement reading is the measurement value

17

between the zero-crossing before the highest peak higher than GAThresh (the position
is auto tracked by the small upside down triangular symbol) and the zero-crossing
before the highest peak higher than GBThresh. See Fig. b as below.
c)
When WorkMode is EchoToEchoMode, the measurement reading is the measurement

value between the zero-crossing before the highest peak higher than GAThresh (the
position is auto tracked by the small upside down triangular symbol) and the zerocrossing before the highest peak higher than GBThresh. See Fig. c as below.
In EchoToEchoMode, gate A is the triggered gate. Adjust gate A to hitch the first bottom
wave (It is neccessary to make sure that the measuring position within the gate is the
correct highest wave peak position of the first bottom beam. It can be judged by
adjusting gate start, gate width and the small upside down triangular symbol.) The
system will automatically move the GBStart in proportion to make gate B cover the
second bottom wave based on the highest peak position within gate A. The difference
between highest peak within gate B and gate A is the thickness of Echo to Echo (It is
necessary to make sure that the measuring position within the gate B is the correct
highest wave peak position of the second bottom beam. It can be judged by adjusting
GBWidth and the small upside down triangular symbol. ).
EchoToEchoMode is suitable for quick measurement of different thickness by B1-B2.
When it is necessary to arbitrarily adjust two gate positions to have manual
measurement, please use Thru-Coating mode to adjust the start and width of both gates
and measure required Bm-Bn (e.g. B2-B3, or B3-B4) value.

Note:
1.
Adjust the measured waveform amplitude or gate based on the measurement

requirements above, and enable the signal at the measured position higher than gate
thresh, so as to ensure correct measurement. In case AutoSearch or FloatingGain
function does not work, disable auto functions and adjust manually.
2.
When Rectify is set at RF, the default GAThresh is minus, i.e. measuring the negative
signal of waveform (below the baseline).The measurement value is corresponding to the
first peak of negative signal higher than GAThresh. The zero-crossing before the peak is
stable, which is good for stable display of measurement value. When GAThresh is set as
positive, i.e. measuring the positive signal of waveform (above the baseline), the

Chapter 3 Application of Thickness Measurement

3.1 General Work Flow
Fig. 3-1
General Work Flow
The general work flow of thickness measurement on the system is as shown in Fig. 3-1 in
Normal mode.
24
3.2
Application Keynote of Thickness Measurement
For most materials, such as carbon steel, etc., the general workflow above is practical and
effective. On how to use the system, operation of calibration and auto search function in particular,
please see Chapter 2 System Operation.
When testing a thickness close to the critical measurement range, the auto-search function
sometimes needs manual adjustment and decision by the operator, so as to ensure accurate
measurement. While for coarse-grained, high-attenuation material (such as ductile iron), special
composite material and multi-layer material, please adjust manually for measurement. It would be
important that the operator has certain ultrasound theory and testing knowledge.
25

Note:
27

1 The system supports recharge while it is in operation. However, it is not recommended to
keeyp on such operating state frequently. Because when the battery is fully discharged and
starts recharge, the load on the power adapter is big and the heat is obvious, and the
recharge while in operation will keep the main unit at a nearly full load state, which is not
good for its operating life.
2 When the battery is recharged while in operation, the power/ charging indicator at the bottom
of the system keypad will be always on (in green).
3 When the battery is charging, if the power adapter indicator flashes between red and green
briefly, it is normal.
4.4.3 Using the Battery

The battery capacity indicator is shown on the top right of symbol information area. More
occupied boxes mean higher power capacity.
When the battery box indicator is blank and has a
red frame, it means that the battery power is running out, and you should recharge or replace the
battery in time. A new DC-A004 battery, if fully charged, may work continuously over 6 hours.
Note: When the battery power is very low, to avoid battery over-discharge, the system will be
turned off automatically.
4.4.4 Battery Maintenance

The capacity and the service life of the rechargeable battery depend on whether the battery is
used properly. Please recharge the battery (DC-A004) through the system main unit with the

Functional Operation of Additional Main Menu
E.4.1 PROBE
The main menu PROBE shall be used with the menu V-PATH.
In ProbeType, see the probe models available in Appendix C or Appendix D.
The dual (TR) probes above have corresponding dialog dual probe models for option. Dialog dual
probes enable auto probe identification, optimize the configuration between the main unit and the
probe, and reduce measurement error.
The dialog dual probe has an identification signal pin. When connecting a dialog probe, please
connect the pin and the T/R plug right into the probe socket on the system carefully. When
starting up the system, it can identify the probe type automatically, and use the built-in
58
parameters of the probe to set up. If probe connected, a
mark will be shown after the
probe type item. If disconnected, the mark will disappear. When a dialog probe is connected,
ProbeType in the main menu Probe will include the optional probe model automatically (with the
mark shown after the probe model) for selection.
Note:
ProbeCode: unique identification of probe type, cannot be changed by the users.
V-PathSelect: Select the V-PATH curve for the current dual probe. Four options for selection: off,
Instrument, Probe and Custom.
When using dual-element probe, the default setting is Instrument, which means adopting build-in
V-path correction curve. When using dialog probe, the system automatically select Probe. For
wear probes or probes from other manufactures, select Custom to use user-defined V-PATH
curve. It is needed to apply existing or re-produced V-PATH curve to custom. If no need to modify,
you can choose to turn off.
When using single-element probe, V-PATHSelect is regularly off.
E.4.2 V-PATH
A set of V-PATH calibration curve is set up by default in the system, which is for all the factory
original dual probes. The users may make a set of V-PATH curve for a specific probe.
When making a V-PATH curve, 10 measurement points can be set at most, and the 10 points
should be in the actual measurement area where the user prefers to have smaller measurement
error. For example, try to be below 10mm (steel longitudinal wave) or in the range of 20-40mm
(steel longitudinal wave), rather than selecting any measurement point in the minimum to
maximum measurement range. For high-precision application in different test range, the user may
make a number of V-PATH curves.
a)
How to make a V-PATH

1)
Set V-PathSelect to Off.
2)
Set V-PATH Enable to On.
3)
Select a test point on the test block, set TestBlockPoint at 1, which means to calibrate
the first test point.
59

4)
Set TestBlockPointVal to a known value, e.g. 4.00mm.
5)
When the probe is in good coupling and the thickness reading is stable, set Calibrate to
On, so as to record and calibrate the first test point.
6)
For calibrated test points recorded, a
mark will appear in TestBlockPointVal.
7)
Repeat steps 3)-5) to record more test points.
Note:
b)
c)
d)
A valid V-PATH curve shall have at least 3 test points recorded.
Up to 10 test points can be recorded.
When making a V-PATH curve, V-PathSelect must be set to Off.
Save a finished V-PATH

1)
Select a blank file number in FileNum from V-PATH menu.
2)
Input a file name which is relevant to the curve and easy to be identified in FileName.
3)
Set Save to On and save the curve.
Recall a saved V-PATH

1)
Select a file number saved with the curve from FileNum.
2)
Set Recall to On and recall the curve.
Change a test point

1)
Select a test point to be deleted. saved curve which to be deleted
2)
Set DeletePoint to On.
Note: After being deleted, the test point will become uncalibrated. An uncalibrated test point
can be calibrated again.
e)
Apply a curve as the current V-PATH curve
The curve with calibrated test points can be applied as the current V-PATH curve. Or the user
may recall a saved V-PATH curve and apply it as the current V-PATH curve. Set
AppoyToCustom to On, and change V-PathSelect to Custom.
Note : In addition to Custom option for V-PathSelect, the other functions are: Off,
Instrument and Probe. .
Off:
To turn off V-PATH Enable function if not required for measurement.
Instrument: To use a set of calibrated curve in instrument default for measurement.

Probe: To use a set of calibrated curve in the dialog probe for measurement.
60
E.4.3 TDG
The TDG function is to compensate echo amplitude loss due to transmission sound path.
Set TDGEnable in TDG menu On, and TDG function is enabled.
The examples of figures before and after TDG function enabled are shown below:
Before TDG function enabled
After TDG function enabled

Note: When TDG function is enabled, a TDG line will appear on the screen.
InitGain: The initial dB value of TDG curve
TDGSlope: the increment of dB value per us
StartBlank: The valid start time of TDG curve
MaxGain: The maximum gain that TDG reaches
61
E.4.4 TEMP
In general, the higher the temperature of the solid material, the lower the velocity. Test data
shows that, if the temperature of thermal material rises by 100C, the velocity decreases by 1%.
When the temperatures of the calibration test block and the tested work piece are different, the
user may enable the temperature compensation function.
Turn TempCompEnable item to On, enable temperature compensation function.
Note:
DegreeUnits: Select the unit of temperature, (fahrenheit) or C (centigrade)
CalibrationTemp: The temperature of the workpiece when calibrating the system. Adjustable
range: -10C to 200C or 14 to 392 .
TempCoefficient: Temperature compensation coefficient. Adjustable range: -1.0 to 1.0.
CurrentTemp: Temperature of the workpiece tested. Adjustable range: -10C to 200C or 14
to 392 .
E.4.5 COAT
When WorkMode is Thru-Coating, enable coating measurement function. Set up the velocity of
the coating. While testing the thickness through coating, the system will test the thickness of
coating.
Option:
1) Select COAT menu, adjust CoatTHK to On and set up CoatVEL.
2) At this time, the measurement reading under coating is the measurement value between the
zero-crossing before the first peak higher than GAThresh and the zero-crossing before the first
peak higher than GBThresh. When CoatTHK is set On, the software will measure the zerocrossing of the first highest peak higher than GAThresh, and calculate the thickness of the
coating. See the figure below for the corresponding peak position. See 2.11 for Information about
zero-crossing.
Note: By adjusting parameters like gain and gate position, make sure the wave form
amplitude and gate position meet the measurement requirements above (see the figure below).
Otherwise, it will affect the test result. Please try to use manual adjustment in this case.
