ISONIC 2010 uniquely combines phased array, conventional UT, and TOFD modalities providing 100% raw data recording and imaging. Along with superior portability, lightweight, and battery operation this makes it suitable for all kinds of every-day ultrasonic inspections
Phased array modality is performed by powerful 32:32 phased array electronics with independently adjustable emitting and receiving aperture, each may consist of 1 through 32 elements. Groups of phased array probe elements composing emitting and receiving aperture may be fully or partially matching or totally separated allowing flexible managing of incidence angles, focal distances, types of radiated and received waves including directly reflected and diffracted mode converted signals
Each channel is equipped with it's own A/D converter. Parallel firing, A/D conversion, and "on-the-fly" digital phasing are provided for every possible composition and size of the emitting and receiving aperture. Thus implementation of each focal law is completed within single pulsing / receiving cycle providing maximal possible inspection speed

ISONIC 2010 is additionally equipped with independent channel for conventional UT and TOFD inspection and recording capable for both single and dual modes of pulsing/receiving
High ultrasonic performance is achieved through firing phased array, TOFD, and conventional probes with bipolar square wave initial pulse with wide-range-tunable duration and amplitude. Maximal amplitude of bipolar square wave initial pulse is 300 V pp for phased array and 400 V pp for conventional channel. High stability of the amplitude and shape of the initial pulse, boosting of all it's leading and falling edges, and electronic damping are provided by the special circuit significantly improving signal to noise ratio and resolution. Thus analogue gain for each modality is controllable over 0…100 dB range
640X480 pixels 6.5" bright touch screen provides optimal resolution / power consumption rate for the outdoor operation
