1 Introduction 

 
The USB-UT350 is the base model of a portable ultrasonic pulser/receiver and analog to 
digital converter that can be used for a multitude of applications such as flaw detection, 
thickness measurement, Doppler measurement, and flow meter. The following list shows 
the other products of this series: 
 
USB-UT350T is the tone burst version of the pulser/receiver. The letter T at the end of 
the part number stands for tone burst pulser. 
 
USB-UT350M16(T), USB-UT350M8(T) and USB-UT350M4(T) are the instruments 
with 16, 8, and 4 channels respectively.  
 
USB-UT350RT is a relay switching instrument with 16 channels. It is the lowest cost 
device with so many channels.
