Abstract An automatic digital backfat meter. An appara- tus and method primarily for measuring the thickness of backfat in an animal which automatically adjusts sensi- tivity and notifies the user when a proper reading is obtained. The transducer (62) produces pulses which pass amplifier (64), threshold detector (68), and are counted in counter (74). If two counts are received, indicator (76) is activated. If two counts are not received, the cycle is repeated and the amplifier (64) has its gain in- creased by sensitivity control (66) in a stepwise incre- ment until the first fat layer is detected. Time delay (78) prevents the first echo from being counted at counter (74).
