Advantages of Phased Array Imaging

Using phased array imaging is an improved way of visualizing what are, in fact, the same
signals as those obtained using conventional UT. Improved imaging becomes possible
simply by color encoding the A-scan signals. Phased array software developments allow
crack sizing to be performed the same way as with conventional UTbut phased array
technology brings these added advantages: faster speed of inspection, better probability of
detection, reporting and traceability, and one phased array probe for all angles.

Weld Overlay that simplifies data

interpretations.

One-Line Scan Capability

The one-line scan capability of the OmniScan MXU-M allows you to collect data in one
axis and visualize it using the top view. This feature is easy to set up and allows the data to
be played back after the acquisition for offline analysis and reporting. Data can be encoderor time-based. This capability is of particular interest to aerospace, weld, and corrosion
applications when inspection requirements do not call for full A-scan data archiving.

OmniScan MXU-M 2.2 Standard Version Software

Conventional and Phased Array UT
Solution

Conventional UT Flaw Detector Features

The OmniScanMXUM
with its new 2.2 Standard
Version software, is the
perfect choice for customers who want to step
into phased array technology and are aiming
towards semiautomated
and automated inspections in the near future.
(That would be the time to
upgrade to the OmniScan
MXU.) The modularity
of the OmniScan family
will allow you to upgrade
from the MXU-M to the
MXU while keeping the
M-Series module and OmniScan MX platform
same MX platform. Also,
as an incentive, Olympus will give a 100% credit on the MXUM module when you upgrade to the MXU (within the first year).
This safe equipment investment is enhanced by a sound training
investment: the OmniScan MXU, which is construction-code
compliant, uses the same interface and concept as the OmniScan
MXU-M. By investing in the OmniScanMXUM, you will be able
to familiarize yourself with phased array technology and acquire a
solid knowledge base allowing you to then migrate easily to semior fully automated inspections.

Flaw Detector User Interface

The OmniScan software user interface provides access to parameters using three menu levels. The illustration indicates the
elements of the navigation syntax used to select menus, submenus, and parameter buttons, and to enter or select parameter
values (Menu > Submenu > Parameter = Value).

The new MXU-M-2.2 software, by means of the conventional UT

channel, provides many of the features typically found in conventional UT flaw detectors (for example, the EPOCHXT) . All the
sizing curve types and readings available in the UT mode are also
available in the PA mode:
ADT (Advanced DAC/TCG)
-- ASME , ASME-3, JIS, custom curves
-- Readings related to gate and curve measurements:
A%Curve, Max%Curve, AdBCurve, MaxdBCurve

ASME-3 DAC
curves

Onboard DGS/AVG
-- ERS readings (equivalent reflector size)

DGS curves

AWS D1.1/D1.5
-- AWS rejection criteria (AWS D) and class (AWS CL) readings
API 5UE
-- Crack height (API-DL) and half-wave (API-HW) readings

One-Line Scan Software Features

The one-line scan capability of the OmniScan MXU-M allows
you to collect data in one axis and visualize it using the top view.
This feature, used with a linear 0 scan, allows you to map large
surfaces of composite or steel parts. The MXU-M Standard Version
software offers the following features:

Menu

Submenu

Value

Parameter

Monitoring of amplitude, peak position, crossing-level

position, and thickness on each gate
Interface gate for surface-following synchronized on the frontwall echo
Automatic gate synchronization on the interface gate
Customizable color palette for amplitude and thickness
C-scans
1-axis encoder with data acquisition synchronized on
mechanical movement

Menus, submenus, parameter selection, and value entry are intuitive and shared by all OmniScan flaw detectors.

The order in which the menu items, submenus, and parameter

buttons appear, corresponds to their typical sequence of usage.

Optional Weld Package

Simplified Phased Array Interpretation
The intuitive RayTracing feature simplifies phased array interpretations for manual weld inspections and dramatically reduces
your required training time. RayTracing is an embedded software
tool that allows the weld area, covered by your inspection, to be
visualized in real time. RayTracing is therefore useful to help you
localize defects during analysis and can make phased array testing for manual weld inspections much simpler.

RAYTRACING IN SETUP MODE

In Setup mode, RayTracing is presented by way of an interactive
wizard that displays the part, the weld, and the zone covered by
the focal law configuration.

WELD OVERLAY
The OmniScan Weld Overlay is intended to provide you with a
visual reference of the flaw location in relation to the weld while
viewing the S-scan display. The Weld Overlay feature consists
of the superposition of the weld geometry drawing on top of the
S-scan display.
When a flaw is detected, you enter the real position of the probe
in relation to the weld centerline (offset). Viewing the flaw with
the Weld Overlay increases the inspection speed. In addition,
it reduces the likelihood of errors and increases your ability to
characterize, size, and locate the flaw within the component for
inspection, analysis, and reporting.

RAYTRACING IN INSPECTION MODE

In Inspection mode, using the A-S-R layout, a RayTracing view
helps you localize the position of a defect in the weld. RayTracing
view parameters can easily be modified during an inspection (for
example: X offset, skew, weld zoom, leg quantity).

RAYTRACING IN ANALYSIS MODE

In Analysis mode, a table of indications can be used to record the
information for each defect detected in the S-scan. For each table
entry, a color point is added on the RayTracing view. This image
can then be used to create easy-to-understand reports.

geometries.

Setup storage is compatible with Microsoft Windows

(exportable using a CompactFlash card).
Complete report setups, including reading configurations, that
can be customized using HTML page layouts.
Easy report generation, from acquired data to complete report
in seconds
On-screen interactive help
that can be customized for
procedure-oriented setups using
HTML script templates
You can create a report showing
up to 10 indications from the
indication table
