Olympus NDT introduces OmniPC software for Phased Array Flaw Detectors
Posted: 2012-4-24
Olympus NDT is pleased to introduce OmniPC software specifically developed
for the Olympus OmniScan phased array flaw detector. OmniPC is a computer-
based software program that provides comprehensive data analysis capabilities
of inspection data acquired with the OmniScan flaw detector. OmniPC provides
several cost-savings advantages because analysis of inspection data is
conducted on a computer rather than on the OmniScan.
A major benefit is that the OmniScan can be employed as a dedicated
acquisition unit when scanning for hidden cracks, voids, and other internal
discontinuities in metals, composites, plastics, and ceramics. Data acquisition
and data analysis can be conducted concurrently, which increases productivity
and decreases inspection time. The user interface of OmniPC is very similar to
the OmniScan's onboard data analysis program, which makes it easy for
inspectors to learn the program. Intuitive keyboard shortcuts have been added
to boost productivity levels during file analysis.
OmniPC offers many of the same analysis capabilities as the OmniScan, such as
Data, Reference, and Measurement cursors for defect sizing and reporting.
Inspectors have access to the same tools and capabilities used to build a table
of indications and generate comprehensive HTML reports. OmniPC has an
extensive readings database for trigonometry, flaw statistics on axes,
volumetric position information, and code-based
acceptance criteria. The result is an easy-to-use software platform that
dynamically expands data analysis options for OmniScan data files.
OmniPC is the perfect companion for performing analysis in conjunction with
many nondestructive testing (NDT) applications, such as composite, corrosion,
and weld inspection with up to three groups. For more advanced features, the
Olympus NDT TomoView software suite remains available for more demanding
applications such as three or more groups, group or file merging, or custom
display layouts.
