ADDITIONAL FEATURES OF THE CMX

10.1 High Speed Scan

The High Speed Scan feature of the CMX increases the overall repetition rate to a maximum of 140Hz with a high speed screen refresh rate of 25 times a second. This feature enables a user to make scanned passes over an arbitrary length of the test material, while still maintaining a reasonable representation of thickness over the scanned area or region. This feature can be used in conjunction with High and Low alarm limits features to dynamically keep track of both values. The feature is typically used to provide a better representation of the area scanned, by taking more readings at a faster rate repetition rate.

The procedure to use the SCAN MODE feature is outlined below:

Using the Scan Mode

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 UTIL menu is highlighted and displaying the submenu items.

2)Use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to scroll through the sub menu items until SCAN MODE is highlighted.

3)Use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys to toggle the SCAN MODE on/off.
