1Introduction
1.1 What is Wave?
Wave is a new generation, smart flaw detector. It has been designed to simplify the work
of technicians and engineers. It is based on simple, custom-made applications that can
be tailored to meet the specific requirements of different inspection procedures.
Wave also brings new tools to make the interpretation of A-Scans easier. A scan plan and
complete 2-D view can be used to represent the part being inspected. A smart ray tracer
then displays the ultrasonic beam path travelling within the piece of material, precisely
showing the echoes, echo amplitude and gate positions.
As well, Wave allows using all the main sizing methods, including DAC and DGS to name
a few.
1.2 Application Concept
Applications are a subset of the Default application that is pre-installed on all shipped
Wave units. The Default app allows access to all functionalities and features, and you
have the flexibility of setting all parameters to any possible value.
Applications are easily created using the Wave Companion Software. Once created, these
new apps are transferred and installed on a Wave unit. They are then immediately
available to the Wave user.
A custom app will greatly simplify the instrument usage by building a much simplified
environment. This allows streamlining your task, as well as lowering the risk of misusing
the instrument.
