6.2 Echo Detection Modes with Dual Element Transducers
With dual element transducers, the 45MG offers three echo detection modes that
allow you to measure thicknesses in various material conditions. A description of
each of the three echo detection modes (STANDARD, optional AUTO E-TO-E, and
MANUAL E-TO-E) follows:
STANDARD
The standard echo detection mode measures the thickness based on the time of
flight between the main bang and the first back-wall echo. Use this mode for
uncoated materials.
The DE-STD indicator appears to the left of the thickness reading, and a
triangular echo detection marker appears at the back-wall echo, below the
waveform display (see Figure 6-2 on page 70).

AUTO E-TO-E (Optional)
The automatic Echo-to-Echo detection mode measures the thickness using the
time of flight between two consecutive back-wall echoes. Use this mode for
painted or coated materials, because the time interval between consecutive back-
wall echoes excludes the time of flight through a paint, resin, or coating layer.
The DE-AEtoE indicator appears to the left of the thickness reading.
When the Waveform software option is enabled, the triangular marker is replaced
