PRF Effects on A-scan Acquisition and Display
EPOCH 1000 Series display updated at 60Hz

PRF adjustment allows A-scan acquisition up to 6000Hz
Maximum PRF means 100 A-scans acquired per screen update
When more data is acquired than can be displayed, what does the
EPOCH 1000 actually display??
Screen Updates (60xs per second)
Individual A-scans acquired at PRF

(each is one full waveform of data)

ClearWave Visualization Package
The EPOCH 1000 Series provides multiple methods of displaying acquired Ascans to ensure the information displayed always represents the most important
and relevant data for the inspection. The ClearWave Visualization Package is
the group of functions that allow adjustment between these display methods.
The methods included in the ClearWave Visualization package are:
Composite A-scan
Max Amplitude
Min Thickness
Averaged A-scan
SureView Visualization Mode
Persistance Mode
Baseline Break

Composite A-scan Standard display mode from the EPOCH XT, this feature
displays all A-scans acquired in between screen update rates (multiple A-scans
when PRF > 60Hz) and overlays them together on the screen.
Even at high PRF, the operator will not miss a single indication!
Can create enveloping effect with fast scanning

standard feature mimics the A-scan representation of analog CRT displays, and allows the
operator to visualize peak indications from reflectors even when the instrument range
compresses these indication peaks beyond visual perception.
Expected February 2009
Averaged A-scan New functionality allows the operator to view an average of acquired Ascans. The user can select the precision of the averaging, choosing between 2X, 4X, 8X,
16X, 32X or 64X averaging to remove spurious noise signals from the A-Scan while
maintaining relevant signals.
Expected January 2009
Persistence Mode New functionality that retains previously acquired A-scans on the
instrument display for a predetermined amount of time. This feature holds A-scans on the
screen while new A-scans are drawn for a user-selectable time interval to allow small windows
of comparison to previous data.
Expected February 2009
Baseline Break Standard functionality on the EPOCH XT, this feature identified zero-cross
points of each waveform using RF data and displays these zero-cross points as lines
connecting individual A-scan lobes to the baseline on the display. This feature can help to
visually separate far surface defect echoes from the back surface echo.

PHASED ARRAY MODE:

OVERVIEW and PERFORMANCE
Phased Array Mode Overview

Phased Array Mode: Standard Group Menus
Phased Array Mode - Overview
Phased Array Imaging The EPOCH 1000 Series provides manual phased
array imaging capabilities, either standard or optional, based on the following:
EPOCH 1000 Optional imaging requiring hardware/software upgrade
EPOCH 1000iR Optional imaging requiring only software upgrade
EPOCH 1000i Standard imaging capabilities
Manual Imaging Manual

imaging means that the
images acquired cannot be
encoded. The EPOCH 1000
Series phased array
capabilities is designed for
hand scanning applications to
augment conventional
techniques.

Angle Beam Inspections
Phased array angle beam inspection typically provides two views:
Sector Scan This image represents

a composite of A-scans across a
range of angles (typically 40to 70).
This sector scan shows amplitude
data of each angle in the angular
coverage area at the same time.
A-scan An individual A-scan is

displayed from the sector scan. This
A-scan represents a single angle,
and is selected using a cursor.
A-scan at 60(selected)

Straight Beam Inspections
Phased array straight beam inspection typically provides two views:
Sector Scan This image represents

a composite of A-scans across a
range of angles (typically -30 to
+30). This sector scan shows
amplitude data of each angle in the
angular coverage area at the same
time, including the 0 A-scan.
A-scan An individual A-scan is

displayed from the sector scan. This
A-scan represents a single angle,
and is selected using a cursor. This
is usually the 0 A-scan in straight
beam applications.
A-scan at 0(selected)
Phased Array Mode - Performance
Automated Gain (Sensitivity) Calibration The EPOCH 1000 Series features an

automated sensitivity calibration procedure during phased array setup. This automated
procedure, based on the OmniScan sensitivity calibration, allows the user to capture the
peak amplitude response from a single reflector (usually side drilled hole) across all
imaging angles (focal laws). The instrument then uses this amplitude capture to adjust
gain at each angle (focal law) to position the amplitude from this reflector at 80% FSH for
every A-scan.
Gain Calibration
Curve
Automated Wedge Delay Calibration The EPOCH 1000 Series features an automated
wedge delay calibration procedure during phased array setup. This automated
procedure, based on the OmniScan wedge delay calibration, allows the user to capture
the TOF/distance measurement from a single reflector across all imaging angles (focal
laws). The instrument then uses this TOF/distance capture to adjust the wedge delay at
each angle (focal law) to provide correct TOF/distance measurements for every A-scan.
Wedge Delay
Calibration Curve
Image Smoothing Phased array imaging is based on

composited amplitude responses of multiple A-scans.
In many instances, A-scans can have multiple peaks
when reflected from a single defect. This can affect
the clarity of the S-scan. The EPOCH 1000 Series,
therefore, allows the user to select stepped image
smoothing, applied to both the A-scan and S-scan, to
provide clearer images without significant impact on
the precision of the measurement.
Frozen Image Analysis The EPOCH 1000i allows A-scan and image review and
analysis while in FREEZE mode
Raw A-scan data available for all angles/focal laws
Full Gain, Gate and Cursor adjustment
A-scan indication measurements live
Image sizing cursors available for X2 X1 and/or Y2 Y1 indication sizing

Phased Array Specifications
The EPOCH 1000i is a powerful conventional flaw detector with basic, manual
phased array imaging capabilities. The specifications below are critical when
compared to other phased array instruments to understand the benefits and
limitations of the EPOCH 1000i.

Phased Array Software Features

Standard Sizing and Evaluation Techniques
Coming soon in early 2009!
As with conventional UT mode, the phased array mode incorporates
the following standard sizing techniques:
DAC/TVG
DGS/AVG
AWS
These techniques are critical to allowing the EPOCH 1000i to be fully

compliant with conventional codes, while still providing imaging
benefits.
Phased Array Mode Software Features

DAC/TVG
The EPOCH 1000i has the capability to create a TVG setup during sensitivity
(gain) calibration, as demonstrated earlier. This TVG setup is the same process
as acquiring a DAC curve it allows the user to reference the amplitude response
of a known reflector at varying depths within the test piece.
The EPOCH 1000i will allow the user to utilize this simple TVG setup mode during
sensitivity (gain) calibration to create an individual DAC curve for every focal law.
DAC curve will only be viewable on the selected A-scan

DAC measurements will be active for the selected A-scan
S-scan will always display in TVG view
Available in early 2009

DGS/AVG
The EPOCH 1000i also has the capability to create a DGS/AVG setup. However,
since DGS/AVG is only valid for qualified probes at certain fixed angles, the
DGS/AVG curves will not apply to all focal laws.
The EPOCH 1000i will allow the user to utilize a similar setup menu as the
DGS/AVG conventional setup, to calculate DGS/AVG curves for specified focal
laws (typically 45, 60 and 70).
Atlas-DGS Phased Array Probes must be used
4L16-DGS1
2L8-DGS1
DGS/AVG curve will only be viewable on the selected A-scan

DGS/AVG measurements will be active for the selected A-scan

AWS D1.1/D1.5 Weld Rating Software
The EPOCH 1000i will have the capability to evaluate the D weld indication value
according to the AWS calculation of A-B-C=D for all three standard inspection
angles (45, 60 and 70). This will allow the user to comply with the AWS code
while gaining inspection speed and confidence.
The EPOCH 1000i will allow the user to turn on the AWS feature and select a
desired reference gain level (AWS stipulates over 50% FSH). The user will then
use a tool similar to the sensitivity calibration tool to acquire a RefB value for all
focal laws at once.
AWS Phased Array Probe should be used
2,25L16-AWS1
Multi-law mode will be active, allowing the operator to only view A-scans that
represent 45, 60 and 70.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Troubleshooting Techniques
It is important, especially early in a product release, to identify ways to
correct common issues or software glitches. This section describes three
methods of correcting instrument failures and/or problems.
Instrument Resets
Hard Reset
Compact Flash Reset
Instrument Resets
The EPOCH 1000 Series has several instrument resets built into the software
