9. Couple the transducer to the thick calibration block step.
In this example, the transducer is coupled to the 0.500 in. step.
10. Use the GATES key to position gate 1 so that the first back-wall echo from the
known thickness step exceeds the gate threshold.
11. Press dB to adjust the gain setting so that the echo amplitude is at approximately
80 %.
A thickness measurement reading appears in large text above the A-scan.
12. Once a steady reading is achieved, choose Auto Cal > Cal-Vel.
The screen freezes and the Enter Value for Velocity Cal box appears (see
Figure 9-4 on page 150).
