TEST SENSITIVITY, RECORDING, SIZING AND ACCEPTANCE
REQUIREMENTS (See Note 1)
(a) Sensitivity level adjustment
Sensitivity mode Method
Scanning IDAC Method: Adjust the signal from a 6 mm flat bottom hole wt the maximum
lsection thickness under test to 40% graticule height and add 6 4B min
IDGS Method: Using the upproprice screen insert, adjust the signal from the
buck wall of the maximum section thickness under test to the reference line on
ihe screem and add the required additional gain as shown on the screen for that
loortion of the reference line, and add 6 4B min.
Evaluation JDAC Method: Adjust the signal from a 6 mm flat bottom hole at the maximum
lsection thickness under test to 40% graticule height
IDGs Method: Using the appropriate screen insert, adjust the signal from the
back wall of the maximum section thickness under test to the reference line on
the screen and add the required additional gain as shown on the screen for that
lportion ofthe reference line
