7.0 Data Display<br />

Software-based AE systems are able to generate graphical displays for<br />

analysis of the signals recorded during AE inspection. These displays provide<br />

valuable information about the detected events and can be classified into four<br />

categories:<br />

■<br />

■<br />

■<br />

■<br />

location,<br />

activity,<br />

intensity, and<br />

data quality (crossplots).<br />

Location displays identify the origin of the detected AE events. These can be<br />

graphed by X coordinates, X-Y coordinates, or by channel for linear<br />

computed-source location, planar computed-source location, and zone<br />

location techniques.<br />
