Touch Screen

The bright 10.4 in. screen with its new, innovative, and revolutionary touch-screen interface improves browsing speed with its user-friendly gate, cursor, and display controls. In addition, the new on-screen text and value input makes devices like mice and keyboards unnecessary.

Menu Selection and Parameter Settings

Tap once on the screen to quickly navigate through menus, submenus, and parameters.

Zooming and Panning

The touch screen's zooming functions can be used to zoom in on a specific area.

In Zoom mode, swipe to pan the window contents.

Gate Selection and Movement

In Gate mode, tap and hold a gate to move it to a new position.

Cursor Selection and Movement

In Cursor mode, tap once on a cursor to select it. Double-tap on a position to move the cursor to the desired location.

Text and Value Input

Double-tap on a parameter to bring up the keyboards or keypad on which values can be entered. Alphabetic and numeric keyboards are available.

Setup

Scan plan adjustment using the Focal Law Wizard.

UT parameter adjustment using the touch-screen software keypad.

Group Wizard for All Essential Parameters

Calibration

Sensitivity calibration for a defined section in a sectorial scan.

Sensitivity calibration for all beams in a sectorial scan.

Code-Compliant Calibration

The Calibration Wizards ensure that every focal law in every group is the direct equivalent of a single-channel conventional flaw detector.

Calibration Wizards

• Guide the user step-by-step through Velocity, Wedge Delay, Sensitivity, TCG, DAC, AWS, and DGS calibrations.
• Enable experimental or theoretical sensitivity, and TCG curves based on two, three, or all beams for a real or interpolated calibration.
• Offer a simple, easy-to-use interface that enables all focal laws to be visualized simultaneously for a particular calibration task.
• Features an interactive help menu with detailed graphics and definitions, which is available in each step of each Wizard.

Acquisition
