MicroPulse 5 is an advanced ultrasonic instrument that is available with both conventional and phased array channels. It also has 4 axes of position encoder inputs and is remotely controlled via a high-speed ethernet connection.

These features have made it popular for field inspections, using both crawlers and hand-held probes. It is also widely used for in-process inspections, forming the core of an automated inspection system for of all types of manufactured components.

Features
General	25 MHz bandwidth Extremely low noise receiver, many filtering options 100 MHz sampling at 12 bits vertical resolution 4-Axis encoder inputs: enables extremely high-speed scanning in pulse-on-position mode or position stamped mode
Conventional	Square-Wave 300 V pulser for optimum transducer excitation 16 channels, expandable up to 64 channels
Phased Array	32/32 64/64 or 128/128 channels (up to 512 channels on special order) All channels may be used for beam forming Dynamic Depth Focusing Apodization Easy-to-use focal law interface and sound field simulation tools are included

Software Platforms

MicroPulse 5 is supported by a number of software platforms, including:

• InspectionWare
• Peak NDT’s ArrayGen software with SimulUS beam modelling software
• British Energy MIPS/GUIDE

The MicroPulse instrument family uses an open data format and long-established MicroPulse command language so that users have the option to write their own interface for controlling the instrument.
