CHAPTER TWO: QUICK STARTUP GUIDE

Turn the TI-MVX on and off using the switch located on the bottom right corner

2.1

Selecting The Transducer Type

The first step in using the TI-MVX is to select the transducer type according to
frequency and diameter. By selecting the transducer type from a predefined list,
the TI-MVX can recall specific properties about the transducer. Note: Once the
transducer has been selected, the TI-MVX will store and recall this transducer
type every time the TI-MVX is powered on/off. The type will only change if the
user physically selects another transducer type from the list, or selects a previ-
ously saved setup. Therefore, if you have previously gone through this section
and selected the transducer you are using, proceed to the next section. Use the
following steps to select your transducer type.

1) Press the MENU key once to activate the menu
items tab. Press the MENU key multiple times to tab
right and the ESC key multiple times to tab left until
the PROBE menu is highlighted and displaying the
submenu items.

2) Use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to scroll
through the sub menu items until TYPE is
highlighted.

3) Press the ENTER key to display the list of
transducer types.

4) Press the UP and DOWN arrow keys to scroll
through the transducer list until the appropriate type is highlighted.

5) Press the ENTER key to display the confirmation screen.

6) Press the OK key to select the transducer and return to the menu screen, or
ESC to cancel the selecting the transducer.
