3.17.1 Instrument Circuitry:<br />

Although the electronic equipment used <strong>for</strong> ultrasonic inspection can vary<br />

greatly in detail among equipment manufacturers, all general-purpose units<br />

consist of a power supply, a pulser circuit, a search unit, a receiver-amplifier<br />

circuit, an oscilloscope, and an electronic clock. Many systems also include<br />

and integration with a mechanical or electronic scanning system. Moreover,<br />

advances in microprocessor technology have extended the data acquisition<br />

and signal-processing capabilities of ultrasonic inspection systems.
