Software Options
All ECHO FD Software Options are field upgradeable via the keypad. Danatronics offers a unique and convenient way to upgrade your gages. The upgrades are done directly from your gage and do not require the use of a computer. The advantages of field upgradability are:
Never worry about downtime
No extra shipping cost
Less cost of ownership due to less freight and duty
No need to worry about the product being obsolete
Simple and Fast to perform
The Field upgradeable options for the ECHO FD are:
Corrosion Software Included with ECHO 9FD and ECHO 8FD
When corrosion software is added to the ECHO FD it becomes both a corrosion thickness gage as well as a flaw detector. The corrosion portion of the software for ECHO 9FD is equivalent to the ECHO 9DLW
Precision software Included with ECHO 7FD and ECHO 8FD
When precision software is added to the ECHO FD it becomes both a precision thickness gage as well as a flaw detector. The precision portion of the software for ECHO 7FD is equivalent to the ECHO 7DLW.
Oxide Scale Available as a software option for ECHO 7FD and ECHO 8FD
When equipped with the oxide scale option and 20mhz delay line transducer, both ECHO 7DLW and ECHO 8DLW units with live waveform can measure the oxide scale (0.015"-0.040") and tube thickness calibrated to their independent sound speeds.
Pipe Curvature Correction
Corrects for sound path calculations based on angle and pipe material and diameter.
Waveform template overlay
Conveniently allows operator to compare a sample or “good” waveform to a live waveform.
Floating Gate
Accessories
The following accessories are available for the ECHO FD series
Spring Loaded Holder
The spring loaded holder (SPH-718) is the ideal fixture to be used on small diameter applications such as tubing to prevent the probe from rocking. The probe can be rotated as well and the fixture has v-notches to assist in probe alignment.
