Recalling Stored A-scans and B-scans
Once an A-scan or B-scan is stored in a data file, it can only be

working in LIST VIEW), then enter the DR mode by pressing

an attachment type if an A-scan is attached. Note also that the
A flag will appear in the NAV Window if operating in LIST

Step 3: Press below the VALUE selection, this will
cause the stored A-scan to be displayed.
Step 4 : Press below the ITEM selection to return to the
DR Mode. The A-scan will remain stored in the file position for

enhanced by modifying the data file’s format.
Once a data file is established, thickness measurements will be
organized in one of several different ways, depending on the
type of file being used. The DR Mode allows you to adjust:
• File size — by adding capacity for measurements to be
recorded in to the middle or the end of the file
• File size – by deleting a portion of a data file
