Step 6: Press the [MEAS] key to complete the calibration and return
to the Measure mode. If the gage is turned off before the
[MEAS] key is pressed, the Zero value will not be updated
to the new value but instead will retain the previous value.
If the gage sounds a long beep before returning to the Measure mode,
an error has been made in the calibration procedure and the Zero value
has not been changed. The most likely cause is that the entered
thickness was not correct.

Calibration (MG2-XT
and MG2-DL Only)
THRU-COAT is a special feature that measures the true metal
thickness of coated or paint materials. This feature only requires a
single backwall echo and is recommended for applications with heavy
corrosion where the outside of the material is painted. The THRU-
COAT feature is available with D7906 and D7908 transducers only.
When you power up the unit with a THRU-COAT transducer or
change to one of the THRU-COAT transducers, the gage prompts you
with a message “DO__”.
To setup THRU-COAT parameters, follow these steps:
Step 1:Wipe the couplant from the transducer face.
