5.2 Using the Minimum/Maximum Thickness Mode
The Minimum thickness mode of the Magna-Mike 8600 is often used for scanning for
the minimum thickness. While scanning, a false thickness reading can be displayed if
the probe is not properly aligned with the surface. Using the Minimum mode greatly
reduces false readings because, when the probe is properly aligned, it will always
display the minimum thickness.
You can activate the Minimum/Maximum (MIN/MAX) thickness mode to also
display retained minimum and/or maximum thickness values. The MIN and/or MAX
values appear on the right-hand side of the main thickness reading (see Figure 5-3 on
page 94). The user can select which measurement is shown in large font (Live,
Minimum or Maximum).
