Remote Control & Data Aquisition
Usual Solution - Use of Umbillical
Alternative Solution Available for ISONIC 2008
Usually multi-channel inspection is performed with use of manual, semiautomatic, or automatic scanner carrying all probes and position encoder, which are connected to the instrument using long umbilical. This conventional way may be implemented with use of ISONIC 2008, which is capable to drive probes and position encoder through up to 50 meters umbilical
So far use of umbilical was accepted by NDT community an no-alternative solution despite low reliability, problems with signal to noise ratio, heavy weight and high cost
An alternative to heavy, noisy, and expensive long umbilical is available at last. Thanks to low weight and compact size ISONIC 2008 may be easyily fitted into a scanner and connected to probes and position encoder using short umbilical. In that case full remote control of ISONIC 2008 and observation of A-Scans and strip chart in real time may be performed through a PC. Communication between ISONIC 2008 instrument and remote PC may be provided using cheap and reliable crossover Ethernet cable of up to 200 meters length. It is important that there is no need in special software to be installed in the remote PC just standard Windows XP or Vista operating system
Optional software and hardware drivers for control of automatic scanner motor are available
