OmniScan SX

Olympus is proud to introduce the latest 4.1 OmniScan software. This new release includes many enhancements and new functionalities.

In the effort for continuous improvement, the software interface was simplified and the response time optimized in order to provide the best experience possible for customers.

To simplify operation and ease the learning process for new and current OmniScan users, every item of the interface is now accessible at all times, due to the introduction of a single operation mode. As a result, all 3 environments are now unified:

• SX, or MX2, using the touchscreen
• SX, or MX2, using a mouse
• OmniPC

To enhance the user experience, the new title bar provides instant access to the main display options. In addition, most common functions are now available at your fingertips through the interactive menus of the full-screen mode, offering tablet-like user-friendliness.

The arrival of the OmniScan SX introduces a new “Application” Wizard. This handy software feature allows fast setup creation for the most common applications, rendering the setup process hassle-free.

The OmniScan Family

	Design NDT SetupBuilder NDT SetupBuilder design software is an integral part of the Olympus line of automated and semiautomated ultrasonic testing products. NDT supervisors can use NDT SetupBuilder software to simulate the inspection strategy in order to determine the appropriate number of beams and angles. This configuration can be imported into the OmniScan, thereby reducing configuration time and manipulation errors.
Your needs… …Olympus Solutions Over the last few years Olympus has devoted considerable effort to innovating and deploying a wide range of complete market solutions aimed at meeting customers’ needs.		Acquisition OmniScan The OmniScan flaw detectors provide powerful inspection capabilities for manual and automated applications. They can be used with a full range of probes, scanners, and accessories, making Olympus the provider of choice for petrochemical, aerospace, and other industrial markets.
	Analysis and Reporting OmniPC OmniPC software is the most efficient and affordable option for PC-based OmniScan data analysis, and features the same analysis and reporting tools provided in the OmniScan onboard software. TomoView TomoView 2.10 features advanced data processing, analysis and reporting tools that will allow you to get more out of your inspection data. TomoView high-end features include: Volumetric merging for multigroup data visualization. C-Scan merging for combined data representation. Signal-to-noise (SNR) analysis and optimization tools. Advanced offline data generation tools.

Setup

Inspection setup can be performed in NDT SetupBuilder, and imported directly, via SD card or USB key, to the OmniScan SX. Then, only a few basic operations are required in the instrument, such as setting the gate and range, before acquisition can begin. It is also very easy to create a setup right in the OmniScan SX, thanks to the following features:

• Automatic probe recognition.
• One-step, preconfigured application Wizard.
• Weld Overlay and RayTracing simulation.

Calibration

To achieve a code-compliant inspection, the Calibration Wizard ensures that every focal law in every group is the direct equivalent of a single-channel conventional flaw detector. The user is guided step-by-step through the required calibrations, including Velocity, Wedge Delay, Sensitivity, TCG, DAC, AWS, and encoder calibrations. Now, TOFD PCS calibration and lateral wave straightening can be performed automatically.

Acquisition

The OmniScan SX enables easy configuration of inspection parameters for either manual, one-line, or raster encoded scans. The acquisition is displayed in real time through user-selectable views and offers the ability to store data on a hot-swappable SD card or USB 2.0 device.

• Intelligent layouts.
• Full-screen mode for better visualization of defects.
• Synchronization and measurements can be processed using different gate combinations.

Data Analysis and Reporting

• Data, reference, and measurement cursors for defect sizing.
• Extensive readings database and predefined lists for trigono­metry, flaw statistics on axes, volumetric position information, code-based acceptance criteria, corrosion mapping statistics, and more.
• Views are linked for interactive analysis and automatically updated when performing off-line gate repositioning.
• Optimized preconfigured layouts for quick and simple length, depth, and height sizing of flaws.

Whether you prefer performing data analysis on a computer or simply wish to maximize the time your OmniScan is at work in the field, OmniPC or TomoView are the perfect software companions for your OmniScan.

The Omniscan SX provides Olympus with a new and versatile tool to add to its arsenal of innovative and creative complete market solutions aimed at simplifying your workflow and improving overall productivity.

Phased Array Weld Inspection

The OmniScan PA is at the heart of the manual and semi­automated phased array weld inspection solutions developed by Olympus for the oil and gas industry. These systems can be used for inspection in compliance with ASME, API, and other code criteria, while offering high-speed detection capabilities, and facilitating indication interpretation.

Corrosion Mapping and Composite Inspection

Zero-degree inspection just became even more accessible with the arrival of the OmniScan SX. For corrosion or composite inspection, Olympus offers field-proven solutions for detection of anomalies or wall loss.

TOFD Weld Inspection

TOFD is an easy and efficient approach for primary detection of weld defects. It is quick, cost-effective and capable of sizing defects present in the volume of the weld, a problematic area for manufacturing defects.

Component Inspection

Using ultrasonic techniques, inspection of components can detect cracks, wall loss, and other damage. With the capacity for both angle and linear zero-degree beams, the OmniScan SX is a very cost-efficient solution for this type of single-group inspection.
