3.1 Menu Key (Operation & Sub Menus )
The Menu key activates the primary menu
structure containing 8 menu tab groups. These
tab groups then contain sub menu items, or functions.
The sub menu items have been organized in tab groups
according to how closely they are related to the indi-
vidual tab group names. Let’s first get familiar with
how to move around in these tabs before continuing on
to the sub menu functions. This procedure is outlined
below:
Activating and Getting Around in the Menu Items
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 desired tab
group is highlighted and displaying the submenu items. The
tab groups are illustrated above (A).
Now that you’re familiar with activating and moving
amongst the tab groups, let’s have a look at how to move
around in the sub menu items as follows:
Getting Around in the Sub Menu Items
1. Use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to scroll through the sub menu items until the
desired function is highlighted. The sub menu items are illustrated in the diagram
above (B).
2. Depending on which function is highlighted, use the LEFT, RIGHT, and
ENTER keys to scroll the options or activate the Digit Edit and List Box options.
3.2 Probe – Menu
ZERO PROBE: The TI-CMXDL is zeroed in much the same
way that a mechanical micrometer is zeroed. If the TI-CMXDL
is not zeroed correctly, all of the measurements made using
the TI-CMXDL may be in error by some fixed value. The
TI-CMXDL is equipped with an optional automatic or manual zero feature. Refer to the
section 6.3, for an explanation of this important procedure.
TYPE: Enables the user to select the type of transducer being used from a chart of
transducer types. This provides increased linearity between transducers. Refer to section
6.1 for a further explanation.
3.3 CAL – Menu
MAT: Select the material velocity from a chart of basic material
types when a known sample thickness, or material velocity
cannot be obtained. Refer to section 9.3 for further info.
MATL 1PT: Performs a single point calibration. This option
allows the user to automatically calculate the velocity by entering
a known sample thickness. Refer to section 9.3 for further info.

3. Press the OK key to save the New
Grid or Seq Log, or the ESC key to
cancel the New Grid or Seq Log
setup and return to the DATA menu.
4. Press the MEAS key to return to
the measurement screen and begin
storing readings.
11.3 Storing a reading
Now that a grid or sequential log has been created, it’s time to make some measurement
and store the readings. The following procedures outline this process:
Note: Once the gird or sequential log has been created it will automatically be displaye
following the create confirmation screen. It is located at the bottom of the measurement
screen, and can be left open for the duration of the inspection process. This section
assumes the grid or sequential log was just created. Refer to the section on “opening a g
or seq log” if the file was created at another time.
1. Press the UP, DOWN, LEFT, and
RIGHT arrow keys to scroll the
target cell cursor to the desired
storage location.
2. Press the ENTER key to save the
current reading in the highlighted
cell location. It’s as simple as that!
3. Press the MEAS key to hide the
GRID/SEQ View Box, or ENTER
to display it as necessary.
NOTE: Once the file is open, it will
remain open until it’s closed or another
file is opened by the user. If the gauge is powered off, the TI-CMXDL will automaticall
open the file when powered on. Simply press the ENTER key to display the file from th
measurement screen.
11.4 Viewing stored readings
It is sometimes necessary to go back
and view the stored readings and
B-Scans using the TI-CMXDL without
a PC. The following procedures outline
this process:
Viewing Stored Readings & B-Scans
1. Assuming the Grid/Seq View Box is
currently displayed, press the UP,
DOWN, LEFT, and RIGHT arrow
keys to scroll the stored readings and
corresponding display view. Notice as the cursor is moved to a different cell, the disp
will be updated with the display view saved with the reading. Readings stored in mem
ory are indicated by displaying a MEM in the top left corner of the measurement scre
