This article addresses saving data on the X3.
To begin
- As soon as a setup file is open the X3 begins recording data. If an encoder is used the data gets recorded as the encoder starts moving. If time based is used, data starts being recorded right away. In time and encoder modes data is recorded until set distances is achieved.
- If setup is opened, followed by a calibration on a standard then testing where recording is needed, just press the Play button on the right hand side of the screen to restart the recording.
- Once recoding is completed press the Pause button on the right hand side of the screen to stop recording. The flick on the top setup file name, a drop down menu will appear where you can select Save Data.
To review a data file
- Click on the setup file name to open the drop down menu. Click Open File and select Data type not Setup type of file. Select the data file you saved earlier and open it.
- This data file will open and now it can be accessed like a paused movie. Click on the B scan to control blue cursor and replay the inspection.
- The A scan waveform is a representation of the B scan heat map at the cursor location.
