OmniScan SX\MX2 Training – Training Files Overview
 This section provides an image and brief description of each data file that was
referenced in the analysis training slides.
 The file descriptions for the flaw data files can be found in the flaw characterization
section.
 The same sizing and demonstration of features can be reproduced using the same
data file in OmniPC for all the examples in the analysis section slides.
 For each file review the focal law, UT, and scan setup prior to repeating the exercise
of the slide.
OmniScan SX\MX2 Training – TF_32ELvs16EL_HighRes.Opd
 TF_32ELvs16EL_HighRes.Opd uses two groups to demonstrate the difference
between 16 element and 32 element apertures and the benefit of high angle
resolution and focus for precision sizing.
 The file is a single data point optimized on a 1mm wide by 10mm deep ID notch.
OmniScan SX\MX2 Training – TF_Cal_25mm_SizingCal.Opd
 TF_Cal_25mm_SizingCal_4.1 is an optimized clock scan of the below calibration
block for verification of depth and height sizing accuracy.
 1mm wide machined notches depths of 20mm, 15mm, 10mm, and 5mm.
 The data file validates the sizing technique and calibration at all angles for all
notches within +/- .20mm in depth and +/- .10mm in width.
OmniScan SX\MX2 Training – TF_Cal_AcousticWedgeVerify.Opd
 TF_Cal_AcousticWedgeVerify.Opd is used to demonstrate the procedure for
acoustic verification and troubleshooting of wedge parameters.
 A contact linear 0 group is configured with no wedge using a 1 element aperture.
 The velocity of rexolite is used for the component. This allows the wedge
parameters to be measured and calculated for improved precision and used in the
PA calculator.
 Inspect the wedge setup and acquisition.
OmniScan SX\MX2 Training – TF_Cal_A2_BeamProfile.Opd
 TF_Cal_A2_BeamProfile.Opd is used to demonstrate an optimum beam profile on a
15mm deep 1.5mm SDH with symmetrical echo dynamic and precision calculated
wedge delay and velocity.
OmniScan SX\MX2 Training – TF_Cal_Bad_WD.Opd
 TF_Cal_Bad_WD.Opd is used to demonstrate the appearance and symptoms of a
bad or improperly performed wedge delay calibration using the OmniScan wizard.
 Notice the flat distorted shape of the SDH in the S-scan compared to the previous
slide. This is exactly what a bad wedge delay calculation looks like.
OmniScan SX\MX2 Training – TF_Cal_IIW_WD_Verify50-100mm.Opd
 TF_Cal_IIW_WD_Verify50-100mm.Opd is used to demonstrate a clock scan on an
IIW block for validation of wedge delay and block velocity using true depth display
and gates.
 Gates are set for 50mm and 100mm radius to generate clock C-scan for validation.
 Acquisition in sound path mode available in MXU V3.2 only.
 Analysis available in MXU V3.2+ including V4.1.
OmniScan SX\MX2 Training – TF_Cal_TCG Verification.Opd
 TF_Cal_TCG Verification.Opd is an automated inspection of a NAVships calibration
block with a 4 point TCG for all focal laws in the 45-70 degree S-scan.
 This file is used for amplitude analysis and TCG calibration demonstration.
OmniScan SX\MX2 Training – TF_Cal_TCG_Off.Opd

 An automated inspection of the

same NAVships calibration
block in an uncalibrated state
with no TCG.
 This file is used for amplitude
analysis and comparison
between two acquisitions of the
same configuration with and
without TCG calibration.
 What is the rate the 60 degree
A-scan deteriorates in carbon
steel in dB\usec or dB\mm?
 The database of TCG values in
the data file for each point
makes answering that question
possible.
OmniScan SX\MX2 Training – TF_Corrosion.Opd
 TF_Corrosion.Opd is used to demonstrate the features and analysis associated with
zero degree linear scans typical of corrosion mapping and composite inspection.
 Pictured below is a 1mm FBH in the center of a corrosion sample.
