2.7 Measure
The TI-CMXDL is now ready to measure. There are two different measurement view
options, each with a specific purpose – Digits & B-Scan. The steps below outline how to
toggle between the different view mode options:
Selecting the Measurement View Option
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
DISP menu is highlighted and displaying the submen items.

3. Use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys to scroll the
view options.
4. Once the view is displayed, press the MEAS key to

DIGITS: Displays the digital thickness value using a
large font size. This view is useful when the TI-CMXDL
is being used as a basic thickness gauge.
B-SCAN: The Time Based B-Scan provides the user
with a cross sectional view of the material being tested.
This mode is useful when there is concern regarding the
profile of the blind surface. This can also be a useful
view when scanning for pits and flaws.
Once the view has been selected according to the
application requirements, the B-START and B-DEPTH
of the screen will potentially need to be adjusted if the
view has been set to B-SCAN. Use the fol-
lowing steps
to adjust these as follows:
