  If your Pulsar Measuring Instruments display is showing an incorrect reading, measure the actual distance from the transducer head to the surface of the material. Then, enter Program Mode and directly access P21 (Set Distance), type in the measured distance, press ENTER, and ENTER again when prompted. Wait until SET is displayed and return to Run Mode. The display should now update to the correct reading.
