Chapter 3. Setting Up the DM5E
Prior to measuring thickness, the instrument must be properly setup. This chapter explains the steps that must be taken prior to
measurement, to ensure that the display appearance, ultrasonic settings, and measurement mode match the desired configuration. The steps
described in this chapter apply to all instruments, regardless of whether or not they incorporate the Dual Multi or Data Recorder options.
Most fundamental instrument parameters are automatically set to a default value based on the Setup file selected by the user. Each
instrument is supplied with standard Setup files, and naming these to match the probe is the first step in setting up the instrument.
In preparation for measuring thickness, this chapter explains how to:
• Install a probe and configure the instrument by loading a Setup file (see Section 3.1 on page 18).
• Set up the instrument display appearance (see Section 3.2 on page 21).
• Set the instrument's Gain and Update Rate (see Section 3.2 on page 21).
• Calibrate the instrument/probe combination (see Section 3.3 on page 26).
• Set maximum and minimum alarm values (see Section 3.4 on page 30).
• Lock and unlock the instrument controls (see Section 3.6 on page 32).
