With reference to the Accumeasure amplifiers, what does “Range Extension” or “Push” refer to?
Each probe type has a standard measurement range as determined by the probe’s center or measuring electrode dimensions. MTI amplifiers can be set up with an electronic multiplier to electronically increase this range. For example: a 0.010″ range probe can be used with an amplifier with X3 “push”. This makes the final system range 0.030″, or 3 times the basis probe range. There are certain limits to how far this range extender can be increased. Consult MTI for more details.
