• Mount the transducers on the pipe adjusting the transducer distance.
• Press ENTER.
The diagnostics window is displayed, see Fig. 9.1.
Fine adjustment of the transducer distance
The bar graph AMP shows the amplitude of the received signal, see Fig. 9.1.
The bar graph SCNR shows the ratio useful signal to correlated noise signal.
• Shift one of the transducers slightly within the range of the recommended transducer distance until the bar graph reach-
es the max. length.
• In case of large deviations of the diagnostic values, see Tab. 9.5, check if the entered parameters are correct or repeat
the measurement at a different point on the pipe.
• Press ENTER.

SNR ratio useful signal/noise signal
signal quality Q bar graph has to reach max. length
By pressing key it is possible to display the numeric value instead of the
bar graph.
GAIN= 86 dB signal amplification
If the current value of the amplification is higher than the max. amplification,
the current value is displayed with →FAIL!.
AMP= 44% G= 86 dB amplitude and gain
