19 TRIG - TRIGONOMETRY MODE
19.1 ABOUT TRIGONOMETRY MODE
Trig mode is most commonly used for inspecting welded joints using an angle beam transducer.
Due to the location, orientation, and geometry of the weld, a straight beam transducer is typically
not suitable for inspection. As a result, a transducer emitting sound at a given angle will allow the
operator to position the transducer away from the weld, and skip into the weld at a given angle.
Therefore, in order to determine the location of a defect, given a specific angle, the trigonometry
mode is used.
This section describes the steps you need to take to setup and use trigonometry mode.
