Making Conventional Measurements

Any one of these three lines can be identified as the reference from which measurements are based (see the BOLD
LINE function below). In addition, the remaining three offset lines are drawn at 6, 12, and 18 dB above the H line.

The regions of the A-Scan display bordered by the H, M, and L lines are identified with JIS Class numbers. These
identifying numbers, shown in Figure 60 as Roman numerals, can also be displayed as results (see the CLS result in
Figure 60). CLS reports the region that contains the peak of the A-Gate triggering echo.

Defining a BOLD LINE Measurement Reference (JISDAC-SETUP-BOLD LINE)

The user-defined measurement reference is selected as follows:

1. Access the SETUP Submenu (located in the JISDAC Menu).

2. Press next to the BOLD LINE function to select the H, M, or L line.
Note: The selected line is now shown in bold on the A-Scan display. This line now serves as the reference level from
which all reference measurements (such as A%rA or dBrB) are made.

Setting TRANSFER CORRection (JISDAC-MAT ATTN-TRANSFER CORR)

The TRANSFER CORR function applies dB compensation for the difference in coupling conditions between the
known standard and the test piece.

1. Access the MAT ATTN Submenu (located in the JISDAC Menu).

2. Adjust the TRANSFER CORR function as required to compensate for coupling differences.
Note: While TRANSFER CORR is set to any value other than 0, the displayed gain value will appear in a contrasting
color, indicating that the amount of applied gain differs from the listed “instrument” gain (the contrasting
color does not appear when the display color is set to the high-contrast BLACK on WHITE).

5.17.3 Deleting a JISDAC Curve

To delete a stored JISDAC curve

1. With the JISDAC Menu activated, select the SETUP Submenu.

2. Press next to the DELETE CURVE function (see Figure 53 on page 118).

3. Press next to the DELETE CURVE function a second time. Then press to confirm your selection.
4. The statement in the JISDAC function box will change to OFF.
