Intro to the MX2 – Equipment Overview – Acquisition Modules The OmniScan MX2 is compatible with all new and previous generation phased array modules from 16:64M to 32:128PR. The MX2 must be off when removing 8 and replacing the module. The OmniScan MX2 is not compatible with previous eddy current modules. Extreme care should be taken when removing and replacing the modules so as to not damage the connectors and pins and to ensure a tight seal. 4 and 8 pulsers. . The OmniScan MX2 is compatible with new and previous generation UT modules with 2. The open architecture is designed to also support the next generation of advanced phased array modules and software. It is highly recommended that the touch screen protector that was delivered with the OmniScan MX2 be installed before use. Touch screen functions are covered in detail in the next section. To drag an interface element slide one finger across the screen lightly and release where desired. 9 . To click an interface element touch or tap the screen lightly on the display.Introduction to the MX2 – Equipment Overview – Touch Screen The display touch screen acts as a finger pointing device with a single touch point (One finger only). Used by an experienced operator with two hand interaction. The cancel key is used for cancelling a selection or to return one level in the menu hierarchy. 10 .Intro to the MX2 – Equipment Overview – Main Control Area The scroll knob is used to scroll through selections without the need for a mouse. the three elements of the main control area (Right hand) and two increment buttons (Left hand) can be used to control all functions of the MX2 for fast easy navigation without the touch screen or USB mouse. keyboard or use of the touch screen. The accept key is used to confirm a selection. using the increment keys will adjust the dB increment in steps of . 2.5. The increment keys will also raise or lower the steps where there is a numeric value for an input parameter. Example: When the UT gain parameter is selected.Intro to the MX2 – Equipment Overview – Increment Keys The increment keys are primarily used for changing the display to full screen for the data views. 1. 11 . and 6 dB and can be used with the scroll knob to change the gain value. 12 . When in full screen mode. selecting the key will change the display to full screen. selecting any key will change the display back to the normal mode where menus and readings are visible.Intro to the MX2 – Equipment Overview – Increment Keys cont. When a numeric parameter is not active. Selecting the help key a second time will return the display to normal operation. The scroll knob allows navigation in the on line help manual. 13 .Intro to the MX2 – Equipment Overview – Help Key Selecting the help key will display the section of the online manual relative to where you are at in the software menu. 14 . Selecting the pause button will display an orange light indicating the MX2 is in the pause or freeze mode. When the light is off the MX2 is in the acquisition mode and the pulsers are firing. When in pause or freeze mode the relative UT functions are not visible but disabled for modification.Intro to the MX2 – Equipment Overview – Acquisition Indicator Light The acquisition indicator light is located below the play key and the color indicates the operating mode of the MX2. The alarm functions in the software are covered in detail in a later section. 15 .Intro to the MX2 – Equipment Overview – Alarm Indicator Lights There are three numbered alarm indicator lights on the MX2. These alarms are relative to And\Or conditions set using gate A and gate B and can be configured for an external trigger using the digital I/O connector. These lights will flash red when triggered by the respective condition set in the software. etc.Intro to the MX2 – Equipment Overview – USB Ports The MX2 has 3 USB ports for peripheral devices such as mice. printers. The USB On the go port allows direct connection between the OmniScan MX2 and a computer. The Micro USB flash drive that was delivered with the MX2 allows the door to be closed while installed in the port.0 (HS) port with a high speed flash device. Any peripheral USB devices used with the MX2 such as printers and disk drives must be compatible with the Windows CE operating system. storage drives.
