Windows Upgrade Assessment to help you assess the future of your Windows XP-based UTEX inspection system.

Your UTEX system PC is an industrial controller that hosts specialized components for motion control and high speed data acquisition. It should not be upgraded before contacting UTEX technical support for advice.

This article describes how to control the UT340's low voltage power supply power, using the SP1 and SP0 commands sent via RS232 interface. Also described is the method for recovering from an error state.

Winspect 5.5 and 6.x scanning systems using Galil DMC 18xx controllers may report a time-out error from the Galil motion controller during scanning. This note describes how to configure the Galil DMC drivers to eliminate the problem.

InspectionWare builds maintained for specific customers.

This note describes how to use some of InspectionWare's features to customize how a machine behaves when it is under manual control. Examples include settings for motion with incremental speeds or fixed speeds, and how to configur the behaviour of the user controls to command motion for only as as long as the control button is depressed.

Most of Eddy current instruments can output its real and imaginary data via two analog outputs. Using a simple A/D device such as NI USB-6008, one can easily interface an Eddy Current instrument in InspectionWare

You don't always need the world's fastest digitizer to get excellent distance resolution.

This article lists the appropriate drivers for popular motion control and instruments hardware running under Winspect 6.x and Windows XP operating systems.

This document describes how to setup your workstation to run Winspect and InspectionWare on the same computer.

UT320 and UT340 instruments can be returned to factory default specifications by performing a master reset. This document describes the procedure for each type of instrument.

The UT320 and UT340 instruments can be controlled remotely by simple ASCII commands, communicated through a standard RS232 serial port.

It is a good practice to back up your Winspect system on a regular basis. This protects you against accidental file deletions, and against computer-related disaster, such as hard-drive failures, water or fire damage, and so on...

The Phoenix Contact Optima MD/100 module provides a convenient field termination for motion control signals that are interfaced to a Galil motion control card, such as the DMC 1700 and DMC 1800 series...

Winspect and InspectionWare can be configured in many different ways to collect NDT data.

Instruments with uncertain trigger timing -- Some ultrasonic systems when externally triggered are not immediately able to generate their main output pulse. These systems include flaw detectors with trigger jitter, multiplexers that need to first switch to the next channel and EMAT systems that first need to build up energy....
