The SpotChecker

The SpotChecker is a compact ultrasonic instrument
for manual testing. The consistent use of large-scale
integrated components enables to carry out essential
functions of the system in a purely digital and conse-
quently reproducible mode.
The gates can be set either to echo fl ank or peak val-
ue of the positive or negative half-wave to make the
measurement settings easier with wall thickness mea-
surements.
The provided application software runs under the
powerful operating system Windows XP. An operator
interface optimized for use with detailed Online Help
enables you to master the function range of the sys-
tem in no time at all.
The software for the user interface is supplied addi-
tionally on a CD-ROM for the case of a possible com-
puter failure or a necessary new installation.
The system uses standard and dialog probes: the lat-
ter are automatically recognized.
