Dakota Ultrasonics CMX DL+ Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge

Dakota Ultrasonics CMX DL+ Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge

Dakota Ultrasonics CMX DL+ v2.0 gauges have all the features of the basic CMX models, plus a full-featured A-Scan presentation with RF and Rectified viewing options. The CMX DL+ is equipped with 3 fully independent gates (start, stop, width, & Threshold). Equipped with a 110dB gain range for added flexibility with a variety of transducer types and applications. Selectable 50-volt Pulser boost or cut (100 – 200 volts).

Dakota Ultrasonics CMX DL+ v2.0 has a color version offers a rotating portrait or landscape option to increase the A-Scan viewing area. Their DakView java-based PC or MAC OSX software makes this kit truly the Cadillac of the CMX series.
