wheel to scroll the highlighted value.
6) Press the LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys multiple times using the left
button wheel to scroll the digit locations.
7) Repeat steps 5 & 6 until the known thickness value is correctly displayed.
8) Press the OK key to calculate the velocity and return to the menu screen, or
ESC to cancel the one point calibration.
9) Finally, press the MEAS key to return to the measurement screen and begin
taking readings.
Note: CHECK YOUR CALIBRATION! Place the transducer back on the
calibration point. The thickness reading should now match the known
thickness. If the thickness is not correct, repeat the steps above.
Basic Material Type
If the material velocity is unknown, and a sample thickness cannot be taken from the

being tested. Use these values only if a close approximation is acceptable. Follow
the steps below to select a basic material type:
