The Dakota Ultrasonics MVX v2.0 is an A-scan thickness scope that handles most advanced thickness applications, giving inspectors the versatility of a scope-based instrument in a pocket-sized gauge. RF, rectified, B-scan and large-digit views let you verify every reading against the actual waveform, whether you're hunting for pits or measuring through coatings.
An alphanumeric data logger with 4 GB of internal SD memory offers far more storage than most inspections will ever need. Everything is packaged in a mini extruded aluminum body for durability, with USB-C connectivity and Windows and Mac software for data management.
Key Features
A-scan waveform verification
View the RF or rectified (+/-) waveform to confirm each reading and set gates precisely. Two independent gates, manual or automatic gain control across a 50 dB range, and time-dependent gain built into each transducer type keep echoes clear on attenuative materials.
Time-based B-scan
The B-scan view draws a cross-section of the test material as you scan, showing the profile of the back wall. A 10 Hz scan bar appears in both the B-scan and large-digit views for quick trend reading.
Pits, flaws and thru-paint
Switch between Pulse-Echo mode to detect pits and flaws and Echo-Echo mode to measure through paint and coatings, reporting only the base metal thickness.
Fast digital processing
A 100 MHz DSP platform using FPGA technology delivers stable, precise measurements, and the 25 Hz screen refresh keeps the waveform smooth and responsive while scanning.
Data logging and custom setups
Store readings in an alphanumeric format on 4 GB of internal SD memory, and save 64 custom setups per file, for as many files as you need. Transfer data over USB-C with Windows PC and Mac OSX interface software.
Flexible calibration
Calibrate with single or two-point routines across a wide velocity range for virtually any material. Every gauge is factory calibrated to NIST and MIL-STD-45662A standards.
Mini, rugged and field ready
An extruded aluminum body with gasket-sealed, nickel-plated end caps protects the gauge on site. It weighs just 383 g (13.5 oz), runs on AA batteries and works from -10°C to 60°C.
