10.1 Data File Types

EPOCH 650 ultrasonic flaw detectors enable you to create several file types based on
application requirements. There are two standard file types, calibration and
incremental, and seven advanced file types.
NOTE
For detailed information on data file types, see "Data File Types" on page 309.
10.1.1

Calibration file type

A calibration (CAL) file is designed specifically for storing calibration setups.
Calibration files have space to store one single ID with its corresponding waveform
and data. Separate calibration files are created for the different transducers, materials,
or test parts being used. The advantage to storing setup data in calibration files is that
the data can be quickly recalled to the live screen using the Quick Recall parameter.
10.1.2

Incremental file type

Incremental (INC) files are designed for general inspection data storage, and can
contain more than one ID for storing file data. Each time the file is saved, the ID
increments. If an ID number cannot increment, an error beep sounds and the
momentary message "Cannot Increment ID" is shown on the display above the
parameter keys. Subsequent saves overwrite measurement readings if you do not
manually change the ID number first.
10.1.3

Advanced File Types

The EPOCH 650 features a full corrosion-style data logger with advanced file types.
These files have specific configurations of IDs, which are designed for use in many
corrosion applications.
