Dakota Digital operation manual CMX High Performance Material & Coating Thickness Gauge

CMX High Performance Material & Coating Thickness Gauge

the user would see is a black screen from 0.00” – 1.00” with no view of the bottom contour at 1.75”.

The following is a list of the viewable features on the display:

A.Repeatability/Stability Indicator – This indicator should be commonly used in conjunction with the digital thickness values displayed. When all the vertical bars are fully illuminated and the last digit on the digital thickness value is stable, the CMX is reliably measuring the same value 3 to 200 times per second, depending on which measurement mode and features are enabled.

B.Battery Icon – Indicates the amount of battery life the CMX has remaining.

C.Velocity – The material velocity value the CMX is currently using or calibrated for. Displayed in either English or Metric units, depending on the what units the gauge is set for.

D.Feature Status Bar – Indicates the features currently enabled and in use in the following order:

∙Measurement Mode (P-E, PECT, PETP, E-E, COAT)

∙Differential Mode (ON/OFF)

∙High Speed Scan Mode (ON/OFF)

∙Alarm Mode (ON/OFF/AUDIBLE)

∙Gain Setting (VLOW, LOW, MED, HI, VHI)

E.Digital Material Thickness Value – Smaller font size when the B-Scan display view is enabled.

F.Scan Bar – Another view of material thickness in a deflection style horizontal bar. This is another visual tool that would enable the user the ability to see thickness changes during high speed scans from flaws and pits.

G.Units – The current measurement units being used (English, Metric).

H.Coating Thickness Value – Displays the actual thickness of any coating adhered to a metallic material surface (PECT Mode), or a coating adhered to a non-metallic surface (CT Mode).

I.Minimum Material Thickness – Part of the Alarm feature. Displays the minimum thickness value found during a scan.

J.Maximum Material Thickness – Part of the Alarm feature. Displays the maximum thickness value found during a scan.

K.B-Scan Display – Cross section view of the material. Provides the user with graphical view of the opposite/blind surface (i.e. inside pipe wall surface), to give the user some idea of the condition, or integrity of the material being tested.
