Dakota NDT MVX v2.0 | Advanced A/B-Scan Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge
High-Speed Digital Signal Processing for Absolute Precision
The MVX v2.0 is a high-performance ultrasonic thickness gauge designed for inspectors who require visual waveform verification. Powered by a cutting-edge 100MHz DSP platform and FPGA technology, the MVX v2.0 provides the speed and stability of a laboratory instrument in a rugged, field-ready housing. Whether you are detecting localized pitting or measuring through thick industrial coatings, the MVX v2.0 offers the visual clarity and manual control necessary for code-compliant inspections.
Key Performance Features
Advanced Signal Control: Features both Manual and AGC (Automatic Gain Control) with a 50 dB range, plus built-in Time Dependent Gain (TDG) tailored to each transducer type to compensate for material attenuation.
Versatile Display Views: * A-Scan: View RF or Rectified (+/-) waveforms for precise gate positioning.
B-Scan: High-speed cross-sectional view to visualize the "profile" of the back wall.
Large Digits: High-visibility mode for quick thickness checks.
Dual Independent Gates: Allows for sophisticated measurement logic, including peak-to-peak or flaw triggering within specific zones of the material.
High-Speed Refresh: The 25 Hz screen refresh rate ensures the waveform remains fluid and responsive during high-speed scanning.
Thru-Paint Expertise: Seamlessly switch between Pulse-Echo (P-E) for pit detection and Echo-Echo (E-E) to ignore coatings and measure the base metal only.
