Old Windows XP Application

Context

To check if the calculations are correct for the scan project's areas, compiled the old Windows XP application.
It is run using the Borland C++ Builder 5 application source.

Complete Project

The ultrasonic inspection project "UT AK5.971" on "Spool 1 3-9 50" seems complete and is used for comparison.

Scan Project Properties

Property Page: Scan Binder

Configures the park position and tool positions for the project.
The tool position is where the operator is able to switch tools like a mirror attachment.

binder

Property Page: Velocity

Configures the velocity for moving to designated project positions in between scan areas.

velocity

Property Page: Acceleration

Configures the acceleration for moving to designated project positions in between scan areas.

acceleration

Property Page: Fixture

Configures the offset created by the used fixture.

Property Page: Medium

Property Page: Approach

Configures the approach from park to the scan start position.
This configuration allows for minimal movement between scan areas by only reversing to a common position between the scan areas.

Scan Area Properties

Property Page: Scan Binder

Property Page: Calibration

This page controls whether the scan is a calibration scan or not.

calib

Property Page: Depth

This page controls the depth and angle calculations for ultrasonic calculations.

depth

This page controls the links for controlling the UT device's settings.
Depending on the implementation for driving the UT device id's can change and so those are assignable.

links

Property Page: Scan Method (Circle)

Configuration of the scan area, which is a circle.

method

Property Page: Start, Stop

Configuration of the start and stop positions and also the offset for this scan area.

start-stop

Property Page: Transducer, Tool, Material & Mode

Selection of the transducer, tool, material and wave mode (shear, longitudinal).

mode

Property Page: Translation Directives

The calculation for Nipscan axes positioning could need some direction for selecting the right solution since in many cases the gimbal and swivel angles can have two solutions.
