ElcoMaster® data management software

The most advanced in the Elcometer NDT range, theseeasy to use corrosion gauges provide inspectors with all
the features necessary to accurately measure the materialand coating thickness at the same time.

The CG100BDL, CG100ABDL & CG100ABDL+ stores
up to 16,000 readings with individual waveforms in alphanumeric batches with full data logging via RS232 data
output to ElcoMaster® data management software.

Offering a full range of measurement modes including:Pulse-Echo Temp Comp Mode (PETP) and Coating Only
Mode (CT) to Pulse-Echo Coating Mode (PECT), theCG100 range allows the inspector to choose the right tool
for the job.

With its high contrasting colour display the CG100ABDL+
has a refresh rate of 120Hz providing users with an instantmeasurement response.

Featuring automatic gain control (AGC) for ease ofuse or manual adjustment (-30dB to 70dB) to increase
the amplitude of the received echo to suit the material
properties, the CG100 series are ideal gauges for all
applications.

For a full range of transducers, please refer to the Dual
Element Transducers data sheet.

Built-in Gates allow users to set the measurement
parameters either on or between waveforms, bypassing
any surface echoes or noise from the material.
Threshold adjustment allows users to adjust the sensitivityof the gauge to detect signals with lower amplitudes.

The normal display mode,measures the total thickness fromthe base of the transducer probe
to the material density boundary(typically the back wall). Ideal for
pit and flaw detection.

Pulse - Echo Temp Comp Mode
Similar to the PE mode,
PETP takes into account andcompensates for the variations inmeasurement caused bytemperature variations.

Echo - Echo Mode
Also known as the ThruPaint™
Mode, EE ignores the coating
thickness, displaying the material
thickness from the top surface ofthe material to the material density boundary.

EEV

Echo - Echo Verify Mode
The echo-echo verify modemeasures by comparing thevalues between 3 reflections andis commonly used to eliminate
errors from surface coatings andto make measurements in multiple
layered materials.
