3.2 Zero Recalibration:<br />

When performing thickness gaging with dual element transducers, remember<br />

that the zero offset value for a given transducer will change as it heats up due<br />

to changes in transit time through the delay line. Thus, periodic re-zeroing is<br />

necessary to maintain measurement accuracy. With Olympus corrosion<br />

gages this can be quickly and easily done through the gage's auto-zero<br />

function; simply press the 2nd Function > DO ZERO keys.
