Setting Parameters
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Pulse/Voltage | Sets the pulser voltage for the transmitter pulse. The recommended range is 40–50 V. |
| Pulse/Width | Sets the width of the transmitter pulse. For SRS transducers with a center frequency of 15 MHz, a width of 24 ns is recommended. |
| Amp/HDR | Is an option to enhance signal acquisition. |
| Amp/Gain | Sets the amplifier gain. Adjust it as needed. |
| Amp/Averaging | Averages the signals to enhance their quality. |
| Timing/RX delay | Sets the start of the A-scan display. The entrance echo into the top plate should be visible. Recommended defaults are 6–7 µs for a water-column delay line and 3 µs for a hard delay line. |
| Timing/RX duration | Sets the duration of A-scan acquisition. Choose a duration that allows multiple echoes to be visible. |
| Materials/Couplant | Specifies the couplant. For a water delay line, choose water. For other couplants, e.g., Imagel or oil, select the corresponding option. |
| Material/Sample | Specifies the material of the stack. Currently, the SRS Auditor automatically maps this setting to either steel or aluminum. |
Stack
Stack information is required during the setup phase. During normal operation, the robot controller or PLC provides this information.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Stack/Front | Specifies the thickness of the front plate. |
| Stack/Middle | Specifies the thickness of the middle plate in a 3-plate stack. For a 2-plate stack, enter “0” here. |
| Stack/Back | Specifies the thickness of the front plate. |
| Algorithm/Shape | Choose “circle” to evaluate spot welds. Any other options the software provides are experimental. |
| Algorithm/Bias | Applies a manual offset to the target diameter. This is the new Manual Adjustment feature. |
