Checkline TI-MVX - Manual (Page 7)

Basic Material Type
If the material velocity is unknown, and a sample thickness cannot be taken from
the material, the user may opt to choose a basic material type from a list with
approximate velocity numbers. It’s important to note that these velocities will not
always be an exact representation of the material being tested. Use these values
only if a close approximation is acceptable. Follow the steps below to select a
basic material 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 CAL menu is high-
lighted and displaying the submenu items.
2) Use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to
scroll through the sub menu items until
MATERIAL is highlighted.
3) Press the ENTER key to display the list of material types.
4) Press the UP and DOWN arrow keys to scroll through the material list until
the appropriate material is highlighted.
5) Press the ENTER key to display the confirmation screen.
6) Press the OK key to select the material and return to the menu screen, or
ESC to cancel the material selection.
7) Finally, press the MEAS key to return to the measurement screen and begin
taking readings.

CHAPTER ELEVEN: SETUPS – CREATE, STORE, EDIT, & RECALL
11.1 Introduction to Setups
Often times, users are faced with a variety of tasks and applications that are
sometimes similar, but often times very different. With a standard thickness
gauge, the user would have to recalibrate for each individual application respec-
tively. With all the features of the TI-MVX, the number of potential applications
also increases based on ability alone. This is primarily in reference to the addi-
tion of those very difficult applications, where a standard thickness gauge would
not be feasible, or capable of accomplishing the tasks.
The increased number of features and parameters also adds to the overall setup
time, or amount of time to set up marginal applications with perfection and
understanding. Because of the additional time involved, the TI-MVX has been
equipped with the ability to save these setups to memory and be recalled at any
time. The TI-MVX can store 64 custom setups. These setups can be bi-direction-
ally transferred to and from a PC. Therefore, the user can save as many setups
as necessary for all of the individual applications. This saves a great deal of time
and knowledge for future inspections of the same job or project. This feature also
eliminates error between two or more users during the setup and calibration
process.
11.2 Opening a Setup
The TI-MVX is loaded with a number of setups from the factory. These setups
can be opened, edited, and saved to any one of 64 setup locations. If a factory
setup is written over, the user can simply reload the default factory setups at
anytime using the utility software included with the TI-MVX. The factory setups
are general setups Only. However, they may serve as an excellent starting point,
requiring only minor adjustments to work for custom applications. It is recom-
mended that user customized setups be saved to an empty location, and save
the factory setups for the purpose of a general starting point. The following pro-
cedures outline how to open factory and custom setups:
