3. 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 PRB menu is

highlighted and displaying the submenu items.

4. Press the UP and DOWN arrow keys to scroll through the

sub menu items until ZERO PROBE is highlighted.

5. Press the ENTER key to display the confirmation screen.

6. If a coating transducer was identified use the UP and

DOWN arrow keys to toggle coating on/off.

7. Press the OK key to complete the probe zero function, or

ESC key to cancel the probe zero function.

8. Remove the transducer from the probe zero disk, and

proceed to the calibration section.

NOTE: The value that is displayed will change depending on

the current velocity setting in the TI-CMX. Disregard the number

that is displayed. It is not important. What is important is

accurately performing the steps outlined above to insure

reliability of the probe zero calculation.

One Point Material Calibration

For the purposes of this quick start section, we’ll only be covering the most common

one point calibration option to determine the sound velocity of the test material. It would

be very handy to carry a set of mechanical calipers to use in conjunction with the

TI-CMX for calibration in the field:

NOTE: Be sure that the probe zero procedure has been

performed prior to performing this calibration procedure.

1. Physically measure an exact sample of the material or a

location directly on the material to be measured using a

set of calipers or a digital micrometer.

2. Apply a drop of couplant on the transducer and place the

transducer in steady contact with the sample or actual test

material. Be sure that the reading is stable and the repeat-

ability indicator, in the top left corner of the display, is fully

lit and stable. 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 CAL

menu is highlighted and displaying the submenu items.

3. Use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to scroll through the

sub menu items until MATL 1PT is highlighted.

4. Press the ENTER key to display the Digits Edit Box.

5. Press the UP and DOWN arrow keys to scroll the highlighted

value.

6. Press the LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys to scroll the digit

locations.

12.0 USING THE UTILITY SOFTWARE

12.1 Computer System Requirements

Datacomm will run on many different operating systems: Windows 98 (1st or 2nd

edition), Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 5, Windows ME, Windows XP, Windows

2000 Professional, Windows 2000 Server, or Windows 2000 Advanced Server operating

systems running on Intel or AMD hardware.

A Pentium 166MHz or faster processor with at least 32 megabytes of physical RAM is

required. You should have 40 megabytes of free disk space before attempting to install

Datacomm.

Datacomm requires an available communications port in order to transfer data to and

from the TI-CMX. Datacomm supports COM1, COM2, COM3, and COM4.

USB to Serial Converter

Some newer laptop computers do not have standard serial ports. In this case it is possi-

ble to use a USB to Serial converter. If a serial to USB cable is needed, contact

Electromatic

12.2 Installing Datacomm

Datacomm comes on a CD-ROM with an automatic installer program. Place the CD in

your computer’s CD tray and close the door. Open the CD-ROM by double clicking on

the My Computer ICON, then double click on the CD. Finally, double click on the

SETUP icon to begin the installation.

Refer to the help section in Datacomm software for the complete operating manual,

setup, and operation.

12.3 Using the XFER menu (TI-CMX)

The XFER menu of the TI-CMX will be used in conjunction with

the Datacomm PC software. The steps below outline the procedure

for accessing the XFER menu and basic operation as follows:

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 XFER menu is highlighted

and displaying the submenu items.

2. Use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to scroll through the

sub menu items until the desire option is highlighted.

3. Press the ENTER key to activate the option selected.

4. Once the Backup or Restore function has been completed, press the MEAS key once

to return to the menu items, or twice to return to the measurement mode.
