Q6: While testing power stability, power fluctuation extends allowed limits.
A6: Unstable attenuator functioning. Readjust attenuator again (following attenuator adjusting
rules) and after one hour of cooling perform test again. If that doesn’t help exchange
attenuator with new one and after cooling the unit perform test again.
Q7: Scan’s saturation is low.
A7: Wrong outgoing power, spectrum is not pulled by the program, bad polarization. Check
outgoing power, spectrum height, polarization.
Q8: Fuzzy scans, bad dispersion- dispersion settings are
improper.
A8: Change dispersion in setup file, perform the controlscan.
Q9: While performing the scans, you can notice that one scans quality is inferior than others.
Single B-scan quality is good, also asterisk scan performed with maximal amount of A-scans is
good.
A9: Perform asterisk scan on smaller amount of A-scans. Then you will be able to notice that
some of scans are inferior quality (it will be sliced). There is every indication that scanners
works improper.
If so: exchange scanners.
