5. Using Special Functions
This chapter describes how to use special Magna-Mike 8600 functions and modes. The
Magna-Mike 8600 has many thickness measurement features. Although the features
outlined in this section are not required for basic thickness operation, they can make
the gage a more versatile instrument.
5.1 Activating and Configuring a Differential Mode
The Magna-Mike 8600 includes differential modes to easily compare the actual
measurement with a reference value that you enter. The actual thickness
measurement appears on the thickness display and the differential value appears in
the differential display area (see Figure 5-1 on page 91).
