Modifying Data Entry (DR-PROPERTIES-RECORD)

In the RECORD submenu, you can also modify the way in which the DMS Go enters data into the file.When operating in the MEASURE
menu, a user stores thickness measurement in the active data file location by pressing F 2 (SEND) . Then, the instrument typically advances
automatically, making the next point in the data file active. However, you can modify the AUTO-ADVANCE feature to suit specific
measurement applications. For instance, when recording measurements into a large grid type file, the physical measurement site may dictate
that it's best to advance by column. Thus, the active data point would automatically move horizontally across the file window, and all the
way through the last column before moving down to the next point or row in the file.
Once the AUTO-ADVANCE feature has moved through a column of data, it will then move on the next column or point, and move through
all of the rows in that column of data. If AUTO REVERSE is turned ON, when data is recorded in the last row, the next position will be at
the last position of the next column. If AUTO REVERSE is OFF (the default position), the next position will be at the first position of the
next column.
To change how the DMS Go enters data:
From the RECORD submenu, use the joystick to scroll to SEND FUNCTION. You can choose from three selections: Thickness,
1.
Thickness + ASCAN, and Thickness/Thickness + ASCAN.
Scroll to ADVANCE TIME. You can select a time at which the file will automatically advance from 0.0 to 3.0 sec (in 0.5 sec increments).
2.
Scroll to 1st ADVANCE BY. Depending on your file type, the selections can include Row, Column, Location, Point, and Elevation.Set
3.
the first advance value to the file component you wish to auto-advance through first.

4.
moves in the direction of increasing (+) or decreasing (-). Set the desired direction.
