Proceq, maker of portable testing equipment, announced a major firmware release that extends the functionality and increases the value of the Pundit PL-200 Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity testing instrument to all existing users free of charge.
The update provides Area Scan for the Pundit PL-200. Area Scan Mode extends the possibilities for uniformity testing of larger structures. The upgrade also allows data logging, which allows the automation of long term measurements. Users can set up a test sequence to fully automate long term measurement tasks such as monitoring pulse velocity changes in concrete during curing to identify the point of set.
With this upgrade, Area Scan Mode is also available for the Pundit PL-200PE. The Area Scan functionality may also be used with the distance measurement mode in Pundit PL-200PE Ultrasonic Pulse Echo testing instrument. This enables the user to carry out slab thickness uniformity testing in grid patterns. The Area Scan Mode can be used for measuring variations in tunnel lining thicknesses as described in the RI-ZFP-TU guideline for NDT of tunnel shells.
