ENERGY

You can use the function ENERGY to set the penetra-
tion or sound energy.
The following settings are possible:
● HIGH – high energy
● LOW – low energy
The setting HIGH is recommended for all tests in which
maximum sensitivity is important, e.g. for the detection
of small flaws. Choose the setting LOW for broadband
probes or if narrow echoes are required (better lateral
resolution).
– Select the function ENERGY.
– Select the required setting.
