Instrument Circuitry: Image- and Data-Processing Equipment.<br />

As a result of the development of microprocessors and modern<br />

electronics, many ultrasonic inspection systems possess substantially<br />

improved capabilities in terms of signal processing and data acquisition. This<br />

development allows better flaw detection and evaluation (especially in<br />

composites) by improving the acquisition of transient ultrasonic wave<strong>for</strong>ms<br />

and by enhancing the display and analysis of ultrasonic data. The<br />

development of microprocessor technology has also been useful in portable<br />

C-scan systems with hand-held transducers (see the section "Scanning<br />

Equipment" in this article).
