The best place to start is the Group Wizard as it will set many
parameters from other menus in one easy step by step process. The
Group Wizard encompasses the parameters contained in the
Probe/Part menu.
2
Choose to Modify or Add a Group
Choose “modify” to set
up first scan or change an existing
group, “add” to
add another scan using
MultiGroup if you have
this option. With
MultiGroup you can set
up to 8 simultaneous
scans as well as
multi-probe applications.
3
Define Your Part
Choose plate if flat. Select material for an
approximate velocity determination. Enter part thickness.
By entering a true part thickness you enable the Omniscan
to calculate true depth/thickness readings off of leg skips
and multiples.
4
Select Group Type
PA for phased array, UT for conventional
ultrasound connected through the phased array connector.
To use the PA channels as conventional channels off of the
PA connection you will require an adapter to break out the
individual PA channels.
5
Choose Connection
Choose applicable pulser/reciever connections. If you
have one probe connected via the PA connection, the
OmniScan will disable this selection. With an extension
cable or Y-adapter you can choose the connection.
6
Select Probe
OmniScan probes will
Auto detect.
If using a non-OmniScan
connector probe-you must
toggle off auto detect first
and then select your probe.
Select probe by case style,
then by model number-(inscribed
on probe case).
7
Select Wedge
Select your wedge from
the list.
Select wedge by case style then model number-
labeled on wedge
10
Choose Your Scan Type
Sectorial Scan- multiple angle
inspection ex: 35-70 degree
shear wave with an angle
beam wedge
12
Select Probe Elements-Sectorial Scan
Must define Aperture Size
(element quantity)
-groups of elements that will
fire together to form an
individual beam.
14
Choose Your Angle(s)
Sectorial Scan- choose a
start (min) and stop (max)
angle for the scan. ex: 35 min
70 max will create a 35-70
Degree Sectorial scan.
Linear Scan- choose 1 angle
to be rastered through the
probe. Ex: 45 degree linear
Scan.
Angle Step- 1 degree step for the above Sectorial
will fire a beam at and display data from every
1 degree between 35 and 70 degrees.= (.1, .5, 1 degree options are
common) 2 or 1 degree step is usually sufficient. Angular distance between
beams fired. This will be disabled for Linear scan.
Focus Depth- Choose a depth to focus at, limited to Near Field for
true focus. Most PA applications can be done without focusing.
15
Generate Focal Law
16
Data- File/Save Mode Menu
Choose how you would like
to record data.
Inspection Data-full a-scan
info for post processing
etc, larger data files-
recommended
Screen- Jpg. of screen for
custom report
Also indication table and
report options but these
can be generated from the
Inspection Data during
post analysis or through
other menus.
17
Format Report- File/Format and File/Report Menus
18
Display-Display/Selection Menu
Choose the display you want
to view while scanning.
If using c-scan define the
type. Thickness C-scans
will require additional
configurations.
19
Display-Display/Overlay Menu
Turn on/off useful features like reference lines
(overlay), analysis cursors, gates, sizing
curves etc. Also change the UT unit- true
depth, sound path, time, to fit your
inspection.
20
Choose an Inspection Range-UT Settings/General
Menu
Define the start and width of your range. Gain can also be
adjusted from this menu.
21
Pulser-UT Settings/ Pulser Menu
Configure Pulser settings.
For most inspections set
voltage to low at first.
Can usually leave PRF and
PW to optimum as the software
will optimize based on
scan setup parameters.
22
Receiver-UT Setting/ Receiver Menu
Usually set receive filter to Auto
for most inspections and the
software will narrow the
bandwidth to the probe
connected.
Choose rectifier.
Choose averaging if needed.
Averaging not usually used
for PA inspections.
Video filter will clean up
both A-scan and image
displays. Video filter can
not be used for RF
23
selection.
Preferences-Pref. Menu
Can adjust screen
brightness (up to 75%
on battery, 100%
on AC),
indoor/outdoor
scheme, and choose
English or metric units
24
Readings Fields-Measurements/Reading Menu
26
Scan Menu-For Encoded Scans
Encoder Menu-choose encoder, set polarity (direction of
travel), type of encoder, resolution, start point of scan.
Inspection Menu-Choose type of scan, clock or encoder, and
view scan speed.
Area menu- define length and width of scan in each axis and
set resolution.
Start Menu-Define what to do upon start acquisition input
Data Menu- Define data parameters for storage
