CHAPTER SEVEN
USING THE DIGITS & B-SCAN DISPLAYS
A key feature of the
PVX-B
is the ability to toggle between two different display
options,
Digits
and
B-Scan
. The
Digits
view provides the user with a large digital
readout of the thickness. The Digits view also includes a scan bar features that uses
a bar graph to indicate thickness. The scan bar can be very handy while scanning a
tank or pipe wall by graphically displaying deflections from pits or internal flaws,
rather than having to constantly watch for changes in the digital readout. The scan
bar is just another visual tool to alarm the user when something out of the ordinary is
detected.
The
B-Scan
display is also very useful when scanning surfaces and viewing the
cross section of the test material. It provides a convenient way of profiling the blind
surfaces during a scan. The
B-Scan
display is also equipped with a scan bar
representing the overall thickness. The scan bar gives the user a visual indication
when a flaw or defect is passed over during the scan process. The scan bar will
deflect off of the defect and return back to the overall thickness. Visually, this is
much easier to notice than watching for changes in the digital value displayed.
Note:
The following chapter outlines some of the fine adjustment features of the
PVX-B
. The
PVX-B
has two different display options (
Large Digits and B-Scan
).
We’ll take a better look at these options in this chapter.
Note:
In order to recall and
use the new adjustments made to the
PVX-B
at a later time, the user must save the
modified settings in one of the setup locations prior to powering off the unit. Refer
page 74 for more information on setups.
