To Next PageTo Next PageWhat to do if Olympus Measuring Instruments show strong echoes but incorrect measurements?
If your Olympus Measuring Instruments display strong echoes but the measurements are incorrect, consider the following: * Recalibrate the device. * If in differential mode, check the DIFF flag. * If in Min or Max mode, the material might be too grainy, flawed, or have high surface noise. Try manual gain adjustment or extended blank.
How to fix no or weak echoes on Olympus Measuring Instruments?
If you are experiencing no or weak echoes and no measurement (LOS) on your Olympus Measuring Instruments, consider the following possible solutions: * Ensure sufficient couplant, especially on rough or curved surfaces. * Increase the gain if it is set too low. * The material may be too attenuating, or the surfaces may not be parallel or are too rough. * Try increasing the gain because the echo may be too low in amplitude to be detected. * If none of the above steps resolve the issue, the gage may require service; try the master reset.
