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

6)If a coating transducer was identified use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to toggle coating on/off.

7)Press the OK key to complete the probe zero function, or ESC key to cancel the probe zero function.

8)Remove the transducer from the probe zero disk, and proceed to the calibration section.

Note: The value that is displayed will change depending on the current velocity

setting in the CMX. Disregard the number that is displayed. It is not

important. What is important is accurately performing the steps outlined above

to insure reliability of the probe zero calculation.

One Point Material Calibration

For the purposes of this quick start section, we’ll only be covering the most common one point calibration option to determine the sound velocity of the test material. It would be very handy to carry a set of mechanical calipers to use in conjunction with the CMX for calibration in the field:
