11.2.2 File Data Modes
When you create a data file on the 38DL PLUS, you must select the file data mode to
determine which measured values to store in the file (see step 3.f in “Creating a Data
File” on page 163). Table 19 on page 182 describes the available file data mode
options. You can only store one type of data in a file.
Table 19 File data mode stored measurements
File data mode Stored measurements When to use
THICKNESS Standard thickness
Echo-to-echo thicknesses
When basic thickness

Reduction rate
When the reduction rate
differential mode is activated (see
REDUCTION RT in “Using
Alarms” on page 117)
