Zero: The MVX is zeroed in much the same way that a mechanical micrometer is
zeroed. If the MVX is not zeroed correctly, all of the measurements made using the
MVX may be in error by some fixed value. Refer to the section on page 35, for an
explanation of this important procedure.
Pulse: The MVX has an adjustable pulse width for both high penetration and
resolution applications. The pulse width refers to the duration of time the pulser is
on. The options are Spike, Thin , and Wide. Refer to page 73 for a further
explanation.
Type: Enables the user to select the type of transducer being used from a chart of
transducer types. This provides increased linearity between transducers. Refer to
page 31 for a further explanation.
