TD Super-View®

Easy to use Windows XP Pro® based software provides a fully integrated TOFD, Pulse Echo and Phased Array capability in our tough, feature rich portable ultrasonic acquisition units. Ideally suited to either semi automated or automatic inspection, whether you are using the miniature TD Pocket-Scan, TD Handy-Scan, TD-Scan or our top-of-the-range TD Focus-Scan, our Advanced Ultrasonic Software provides unrivalled performance.

Intuitive user friendly menu’s guide the user through each operation, with all parameters definable on a channel by channel basis. With our TD-Scan and TD Focus-Scan units the software can also be controlled by shortcut keys integrated into the front panel to provide mouse-free operation.

Our software provides real-time A, B , C, D & S-scan imaging with probe angle and geometry (skip) correction performed on-line and off-line. The user is provided instantly with a true representation of the material under test and with our enhanced analysis tools the process of defect interpretation and condition assessment is smooth and remarkably quick

TD Super-View® was developed with the operator in mind: that means, full control of the data display online and offline. The operator has the flexibility of choice to divide the main display window into 4 display areas and further subdivide each display area into multiple sub-areas presenting A, B,C,D or S scans on the screen as desired. The operator has the choice of displaying the above data from individual channels or as a composite view of all active channels. Data from different scan modes can also be viewed simultaneously, for instance ToFD and Pulse Echo data from different channels can be viewed. The Choice is Yours!

Our CommsBridge software is a small application that allows you to control either the TD-Scan or the Focus-Scan units remotely across an Ethernet link. This is useful for analysing data at a remote location using your corporate network or if you use your unit as a ‘black box’.
