6) Press the OK key to set the % SCRN HEIGHT and return to the menu

Note: % Screen Height is an arbitrary level, and is not specified by the AWS

larger and smaller than the reference level. Typically this level is set between

50%-80% full screen height.

Setting the Reference Gain

1) Press the UP and DOWN arrow keys until SET REF HEIGHT is highlighted,

followed by pressing the LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys to toggle the feature

ON.

MEAS key multiple times to move right and the ESC key multiple times to

move left, until the GATE1 cell is highlighted.

Note: A gray cursor should be visible in the waveform area of the display.

Also, since the DFX-7 has been previous calibrated and the TRIG feature has

been setup, a gate should be enabled and active.

Peak Up on the Reflector

1) Apply couplant on the calibration standard, place the transducer in the

correct area in position with the reflector, and slide the transducer around to

locate the maximum amplitude.
