MINI-MAX Ultrasonic Bolt Tension Monitor
A)
Stability of Reading Indicator – Indicates the stability of the return echo on
a scale of 1 to 6 – the solid bars displayed in the figure above indicate a
repeatable signal. If the MINI-MAX is displaying a reading from memory, the
repeatability indicator will be replaced by the text
“MEM”.
B)
Battery life Indicator – Fully charged batteries will appear filled in solid.
Note: The diagram shows the batteries at approximately 50%.
C)
Length Measurement – Digital readout of quantity (english or metric).
D)
Detect Indicator – The broken vertical line displays the zero crossing (flank)
detection point on the waveform where the measurement has been obtained.
Notice that the digital quantity readout is the same as the location of the
detect indicator according to the measurement labels F, also in the diagram.
E)
Echo Signal – Graphical full waveform representation of the echo signal
displayed as an amplitude (vertical or “Y” axis) plotted against time (horizontal
or “X” axis), this time is then converted to a physical measurement in terms of
a specific quantity.
F)
Measurement Labels – The measurement labels are calculated and
displayed based on where the left side of the display has been set
(Delay),
and the overall viewable area
(Width) of the display. Note: The gray hash
marks break the display up into 5 segments, or quadrants. The measurement
labels correspond to the measurement at each hash mark.
G)
Units Label - Displays the current quantity of measurement.
H)
Hot Menus - Each of the fields located under the waveform display are called
the
Hot Menu Fields. These fields allow quick control of some of the fine
adjustments needed to control the display settings, measurement modes, and
group memory control. All of these fields can be adjusted without having to
activate the tabbed menu items and searching through a variety of menus to
make adjustments.
I)
Gate – Used to block signal noise, force detection on a specific waveform or
cycle, and view the threshold according to the waveform and signal
amplitude.
