2.2 Interpreting the Display Screens
This section describes the layout of the DM5E's primary display modes including:
• Measurement Display Mode - Indicates measured thickness, contains status icons, displays data recorder location and file name (when
this option is installed and activated). Figure 3 on page 10 shows four representative display screens. The display's appearance varies
based on the installed instrument options as well as instrument display settings. Additional measurement view modes are available when
the Dual Multi or Data Recorder options are installed.
• Probe Setup Display Mode - Allows the user to select a standard preloaded instrument setup, each of which is matched to a specific
probe model (see Figure 4 on page 11).
• File Display Mode - Allows the user to create and store thickness readings in data recorder files. This feature is only available when the
data recorder option is installed and activated (see Figure 5 on page 12). When installed and activated, the data recorder option allows
users to create data recorder files, store thickness readings, and navigate through file contents.
• Configuration Display Mode - Instrument controls are accessed through this screen. The controls listed on the configuration display
screen vary depending on the installed options (see Figure 6 on page 13). The contents of the Configuration display depends on the
instrument's installed-option configuration.
