USPC 7100 PC Card
The Socomate USPC All in one Ultrasonic PC cards (formerly USPC 3100). USPC7100 is used in many applications
through out the NDT field. It combines excellent results in surface resolution, temporal linearity and amplitudes.
The ultrasonic signal is sampled through a 100 or 200 MHz digitizer allowing thus a higher measurement accuracy.

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 independent 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

PCRCPP7101HA+
Single Channel Unit with Receiver - PCI Card & Remote Pulser Board RCPP
Cost effective solution for single and multiple channel UT System
The PCRCPP is a remote single channel pulser which has exactly the same characteristics of the USPC7100LA. The use of such product depends
of the required distance between the UT electronic pulser and the transducer.
In the case the application requires that the pulser must be close to the transducers, then the PCRCPP is the right choice.
The maximum length should be 60 meters between the remote pulser card and the USPC receiver card.
Our card has been designed in order to be easily integrable into a box, and in case that several channels are required, many PCRCPP can work in
parallel.
