E) Echo Signal – Graphical full waveform representation of the return echo
displayed as an amplitude (vertical or “Y” axis) plotted against time (horizontal
or “X” axis), this time is then converted to a physical measurement in terms of
a specific quantity.
F) Measurement Labels – The measurement labels are calculated and
displayed according to where the left side of the display has been set (Delay),
and the overall viewable area (Width) of the display. Note: The gray hash
marks break the display up into 5 segments, or quadrants. The measurement
labels correspond to the measurement at each hash mark.
G) Units Label - Displays the current quantity.
H) Hot Menus - Each of the fields located under the waveform display are called
the Hot Menu Fields. These fields allow quick control of some of the fine
adjustments needed to control the display settings, measurement modes, and
group memory control. All of these fields can be adjusted without having to
activate the tabbed menu items and searching through a variety of menus to
make adjustments.
I) Gate – Used to block signal noise, force detection on a specific waveform or
cycle, and view the threshold according to the waveform and signal
amplitude.
DIGITS VIEW
DIGITS
The Digits view is a basic digital look and feel. The larger digits make it much
easier for the operator to monitor the measurements. The Limits Bar has also
been added to the Digits view to provide the user with yet another visual tool for
easily monitoring if the fastener is inside specific tolerances.
