DESCRIPTION:
The PCIUT3100 ultrasonic testing board is a combination pulser/receiver and high-speed analog to digital converter on a single PCI board. The board generates an electrical pulse which is transmitted to an ultrasonic transducer. The transducer converts the electrical excitation pulse to an ultrasonic pulse which then propagates into the test material or couplant. The transducer also receives the echoes that are reflected back from the interface and converts the ultrasonic pulse back into an electrical signal which is then processed by the on-board receiver and analog to digital converter.
This process is entirely adjustable by the end user—configurable properties include: pulse voltage, pulse width, damping, pulse/echo or through transmission mode, receiver gain, DC offset, low-pass filter, high-pass filter, rectification, sampling rate, trigger source—internal or external, and trigger delay.
Optional add-ons include digital inputs and outputs, an external clock input, a sync output, memory updates, distance amplitude correction (DAC), up to two additional 14-bit analog to digital converters, up to 3 encounter counters, and software development kits.
When used in conjunction with our DT16G 16-channel pulser/receiver switching board, the PCIUT3100 becomes a multi-channel ultrasonic inspection and analysis system capable of up to 256 channels. Multiple PCIUT3100 boards can also be installed in one computer to develop a multi-channel ultrasonic system capable of firing multiple transducers and acquiring data at the same time.
