VIS modular test electronics
The name VIS stands for new modular test electronics for use in ultrasonic test systems. Set up on VME bus basis, the electronics is designed as 19" plug-in module. A maximum of twelve channels can be operated per ultrasonic module and a maximum of ve modules in a system. The parallel operation of all channels with 20kHz PRF per channel enables a very fast online inspection. The electronics is completely operated via the PC; Windows NT is available as a user-friendly operating system. The system provides a fully digital echo display with a high-resolution A-scan, plus a hardware-based compression of the individual A-scans (EchoMax function). This function ensures that even a short-term event (single shot) will not be overlooked. The test results (amplitudes, time of ight) are available as 8- or 16-bit information at the interfaces. Main elds of application of the VIS system: weld inspection tube testing quick online testing cleanliness examination
