USPC - Ultrasonic PC Cards

The Socomate USPC cards offer outstanding performance at a low cost. Simply plug the card into a conventional PC to produce a high performance Ultrasonic flaw detector. The PC cards have excellent resolution, signal to noise and features, yet are very easy to use.

 With a Pulse repetition frequency of up to 20KHz, the cards are ideal for both single channel work such as immersion testing (approved for use on RPS 705 by Rolls Royce) or rack mounted to give multiple channels in automated testing systems.

A multiplexer board is available to give up to eight channel operation in an economical package.

Up to 8 sequential tests with independant settings from one card.

Back echo tracking with gate 1  

The New USPC7100 Series Cards replace the USPC3100 Series but both have very similar characteristics
