Description
Overview
The combination of the GAOTek Phased Array Flaw Detector live total focusing method (TFM) envelope processing, up to 1,024 × 1,024 grid resolution, and vibrant color display make its TFM images stand out with exceptional detail. Defects appear sharp and clear with high resolution. The Acoustic Influence Map (AIM) tool provides you with an instant visual model of the sensitivity based on your mode, settings, and simulated reflector. The tool enables you to visualize the effect of a wave set (in TFM mode), see where sensitivity stops, and adjust your scan plan accordingly.
