Dialog Probes - GE SpotChecker Operating Manual

Dialog probes

3.3 Dialog probes
The use of dialog probes is fully supported by
SpotChecker. This helps to avoid any errors in the de-
scription and selection of probes.
When creating inspection plans (even by means of the
Database Manager), the necessary probe data are
retrieved from the probe at the press of a key. The fol-
lowing data can be read from the probe:
❚
Type
❚
Serial number
❚
Name
❚
Identifi cation number
❚
Frequency
❚
Delay velocity
❚
Manufacturing date
❚
Probe diameter
Most of all the probe type and number – as well as
the parameters probe diameter and frequency which
are important for the inspection – can be defi ned as
SpotChecker
default inspection settings for the individual actions in
the inspection plan.
The probe monitoring feature included in SpotChecker
simplifi es every probe change to be carried out by us-
ing dialog probes. Especially when using several dif-
ferent probe types in one and the same inspection
plan, it's no longer necessary to enter any specifi c
probe data.
At the end of the inspection, the dialog probe enables
to produce a complete, reproducible set of documen-
tation, including a report printout of the probes used
and of those supported by the inspection plan (data-
base).
