h- Re-read Data
1. Switch on
Press key to turn on the gauge. The gauge will consecutively display
- Logo
- Serial No. and software version then the gauge will enter into measuring mode and display
- 0.0mm/0.00mm(0.00IN/0.000IN depending on the last used)
- Velocity rate and selected probe
- Location Lumber
2. Backlight on / off
Press key, the backlight is on. Press key again, the backlight is off.
3. Measurement
There are three ways to go into measuring mode:
- Switch on the gauge;
- Press power key escape from MENU;
- Measurement.
4. Calibration
When initially switch on the gauge or get an error value instead of 4.00mm (when velocity rate is 5920 m/s) if
take measurement of test block attached on the gauge (which correct value should be 4.00mm) or other
standard test block, the gauge needs to be calibrated simply by pressing key. The gauge will display same
information and operate according to this information, then the gauge will automatically calibrate.
5. Set-up
Press key, the gauge will display:
1. Measurement
2. Velocity Rate
3. Probe Setting
4. Resolution
5. Memory
6. Limitation
7. Average Measurement

8. Print Out
9. Default
a. Measurement
- No Contents
b. Velocity Rate
b-1. Setting velocity
- Press key into“ Setting velocity ”state
- Press or to change velocity rate
- Press to enter/confirm
b-2. Velocity measurement
- Measuring the sample which thickness is known
- Press key into“ Velocity measurement ”state
- Press or to up and down the value of velocity to determine the thickness as the same as the value
of sample that is measured
- Press key again, the gauge will store the velocity rate automatically.
c. Probe Setting
The gauge provides three types of probe for user.
- Press key into “Probe selecting” state
- Press or to select probe.
1= normal probe (PT-08)
2= small diameter probe (PT-06)
3= low frequency probe (ZT-12)
4= High Temperature probe (GT-13)
- Press key to enter/confirm
d. Resolution
- Press key into “Resolution” state
- Press or to select resolution and unite.
1= 0.1 mm
2= 0.01 mm
3= 0.01 IN
4= 0.001 IN
- Press key to enter/confirm

e. Memory
e-1. Location
The gauge has a memory capacity of 4000 measurements which location can be from 0000 to 3999. After
taking every measurement, press key to store the value with a location number. You can also select an
initial number for beginning to store the value and the next number will be followed automatically by following
measurements.
- Press key into“ Location ”state
- Press or to select desired number as initial location
- Press key to enter/confirm
If you want to read the stored value in memory,
Press key to read one by one data according to the above procedure, select desired initial number. Then
the desired group of value can be readable beginning from this initial number.
e-2. Delete Memory
Delete the data in memory which locations are selected.
f. Limitation
- Press key into“ Limitation ”state
- Press or to select desired low limitation and high limitation
- Press key to enter/confirm
When the measuring value is lower or higher than the limit value a sign “L” or “H” will appear on the right top of
LCD.
g. Average Measurement
You can get mean values by 2 to 9 times on TG 200 thickness gauge
- Press key into “ Average ”state
- Press to select desired average times (2 to 9)
- Press key to enter/confirm
When complete measuring once, you must wait about 3 seconds, the gauge will calculate measuring data and
average times will decrease 1 appearing on the right top of LCD. When average times is zero, the gauge will
show the averaged value on LCD.
h. Print Out
If you want to print the stored values, you must determent the initial location number and the end location
number,
- Press key into “Print” state
- Press or to select desired initial and end location number.
- Press key to enter / confirm
The gauge will print the stored value in memory from initial location number to end location number
automatically.

i. Default
When you select “Default” state, the gauge will recover the default parameter.
6. Data print-out (optional)
This procedure is almost like “Print”, but mini-printer replaced by PC.
- Press key into “Print” state
- Press or to select desired initial and end location number.
- Press key to enter / confirm
The stored value in memory will transfer into PC.
