Thickness measurement Operation
Minimum capture measurement - MIN mode
The MIN mode is suitable for determining the smallest
measurement value within a series of measurements
or within a rapid measurement sequence. The thick-
ness measurement is made in this mode with an in-
creased pulse repetition frequency in order to guaran-
tee the reliable capture of the smallest measurement
values during movement of the probe over the surface
of the material.
When the probe is coupled, the smallest thickness
value of the measurement sequence is displayed. The
measurement sequence finishes after a certain “time-
out” (adjustable). The measurement sequence contin-
ues when you position the probe again within the time-
out. You determine the possible “breaks” in your mea-
surement sequence by adjustment of the time-out.
Setting the MIN time-out
You are able to set a time-out from 1 to 5 seconds.
– Press m until MIN is displayed.
– Press c.
The current time-out setting in seconds is displayed,
e.g.:
– Set the new time-out with d u, e.g.:
– Press c again in order to acknowledge the setting.
