5.2.8.3-1: Linearity of vertical display to EN12668-1<br />

Procedure: Test the ultrasonic instrument screen linearity by altering the<br />

amplitude of a reference input using an external calibrated attenuator and<br />

observing the change in the signal height on the ultrasonic instrument<br />

screen. Report the gain setting at the beginning of the test. Check the<br />

linearity at prescribed intervals from 0 dB to - 26 dB of full screen height.<br />

Repeat the test <strong>for</strong> centre frequencies <strong>for</strong> of each filter as measured in 9.5.2.<br />

Using the same set-up shown in Figure 6 set the external calibrated attenuator<br />

to 2 dB and adjust the input signal and the gain of the ultrasonic instrument<br />

so the signal is 80 % of full screen height. Without changing the gain of the<br />

ultrasonic instrument switch the external calibrated attenuator to the values<br />

given in the Table 4. For each setting measure the amplitude of the signal on<br />

the ultrasonic instrument screen.<br />
