SPARTACUS - A new system of data acquisition and processing for ultrasonic examination
Abstract
SPARTACUS, a novel data acquisition and processing system for ultrasonic examination, was developed in order to overcome the problem in which all the techniques of characterization, sizing, or of improving the SNR making use of information processing cannot be employed because the complete form of the HF signal and hence its frequency content are not accessible. In acquisition mode, SPARTACUS helps to record all the waveforms continuously in numerical form, and at a rate compatible with industrial requirements. In processing mode, SPARTACUS offers vast processing and imaging possibilities, which makes it possible to set up the analytical method adapted to a specific problem, so that the industrial operator has a tool capable of diagnostic automation in complex testing situations.
