This item is discontinued, click on the link for the alternative - ZX-5
The MX-5 has all the features of the MX-3 plus:
- An audible and visual alarm mode: In alarm mode, the user can set a nominal thickness value. When measurements fall above or below the set nominal value, a red light and audible beeper is displayed and sounded.
- Differential mode: In differential mode, the user sets a target thickness value and the MX-5 will display the difference ( +/- ) from the target value.
- RS232 output: This enables the user the ability to send measurements to an external data collection device or directly to a PC.
The MX-5 is a simple to use hand-held Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge. It offers features that make your job easier. Alarm mode, Differential mode, high speed scanning and data send are the main features of the MX-5. The MX-5 comes as a complete kit, ready to use and is backed by Dakota Ultrasonics' 5 year limited warranty.
The MX-5DL has all the features of the MX-5 plus:
- An Internal data logger that stores a total of 1000 readings in 10 files of 100 readings each file. This gives the user the ability to store and download the stored measurements directly to a PC
- DakView software program and transfer cable are included in the MX-5DL kit.
The MX-5DL is a simple to operate Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge with an internal data logger. It offers features that make your job easier. Alarm mode, Differential mode, high speed scanning and data send are the main features of the MX-5DL. The MX-5DL will automatically log your readings in numeric order (1 to 1000 readings). The gauge comes as a complete kit, ready to use and is backed by Dakota Ultrasonics' 5 year limited warranty.
