6.9.2 Minimum Depth Alarm
The EPOCH 1000 Series is equipped with a minimum depth alarm that is triggered
whenever the current thickness measurement reading falls below an operator-defined
level. The minimum depth alarm can be used either with a single gate or in echo-to-
echo measurement mode.
6.9.3 Minimum Depth Alarm with a Single Gate
When the minimum depth alarm is activated, a marker appears on the gate to visually
indicate the current setting. Any indication that exceeds the gate threshold to the left
of the marker triggers the alarm.
