Echo-Strength Bargraph
The green bargraph display indicates ultrasonic coupling-strength :
¾ A single flashing bar means there is no contact at all
¾ One or two bars, plus a flashing bar, means there is not enough contact to obtain three
echoes
Ö This indicates either poor contact, or badly corroded material
Ö This can also occur if the Probe membrane has been fitted incorrectly
¾ Three bars, plus one flashing bar, means there is good contact, but a valid triple-echo
measurement has not been obtained
Ö This probably indicates badly corroded material
¾ Four bars, plus one flashing bar, shows an accurate triple-echo measurment
Measurement Units
CygLink is able to display Measurement in either Metric or Imperial units :
¾ Click on the on-screen Units switch button to toggle between Metric [
mm] and Imperial
