“Thickness gauge +” software version:
- Automatic algorithms of straight-beam probes calibration (single and dual element).
- Mode of probe zero express calibration of straight-beam dual element probes “exposed to air”.
- Measurement mode by zero crossing the first negative half-wave of the echo-signal.
- Acoustic coupling control.
- Building the thickness B-Scans and C-Scans bound to the scanning coordinate (in case of scanning device usage).
- Alarm zones highlights mode according to the set values of minimum and maximum allowed thickness of the test object.
- Saving the thickness measurement results in multi-dimensional files on the basis of user defined templates.
- Creation of database of measurement results and used probes.
- Fast data transfer to PC via USB using USB Flash.
- Results dispaly: A-Scan, B-Scan and C-Scan.
- Synchronization: internal (time), Encoder (up to 2 encoders connection).
