Thickness
The most common method of adjustment is to measure a sample
of known thickness. Select a reference standard of material as
close as possible in composition to the intended application. For
best results, the thickness of the reference standard should be
equal to or slightly greater than the thickness of the part to be
measured.
1. Apply a drop of couplant onto the reference standard.
2. Measure the reference standard.
3. Lift the probe. Select Thickness from the Cal Settings menu.
4. Adjust the display down (-) or up (+) to the reference thickness.
5. Press to the store the adjustment and exit.

2. Navigate to the desired material
3. Press to select and exit.
Velocity
