Figure 11-26 Floating gate setup page
Once the desired setup for floating gate is adjusted, press [ESCAPE] to return to the
live A-scan view and begin the inspection with floating gate features active.
11.6.2 Operating in –6 dB Mode
In –6 dB mode, the desired gate floats at 6 dB below the peak-echo amplitude in the
gate. This corresponds to 50
% of the echo’s maximum height. Figure 11-27 on
page 237 depicts gate 1 with floating gate active in the –6 dB mode. Note that the gate
is exactly at 50 % of the echo’s peak amplitude. The peak amplitude is at
approximately 80
% of the full-screen height.
