10.0 ADDITIONAL FEATURES OF THE TI-CMXDL
10.1 High Speed Scan
The High Speed Scan feature of the TI-CMXDL 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 materi
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 bette
representation of the area scanned, by taking more readings at a faster rate repetition rat
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.
4. Press the MEAS key to return to the measurement screen.
10.2 Alarm Mode
The Alarm Mode feature of the TI-CMXDL provides the user with a method of setting t
erances, or limits, for a particular application requirement. This feature may be used for
variety of applications to verify the material is within the manufacturer specifications.
There are two limits, or alarm values, that can be setup in the TI-CMXDL – ALARM LO
and ALARM HIGH limits. However, the user may choose to activate and utilize only on
of the limit values, depending on their specific application requirements. The procedures
use the ALARM MODE feature are outlined below:
Toggle Alarm (on/off)
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
