For quicker scans over greater distances, it is possible to leave a gap between B-scans.
Particularly useful when scanning over large distances when looking for larger defects.

PD8050 can create 3D scans that are very useful for some common applications such as PT
duct inspection.
To do so, scan parallel to the short axis of the sensor.
Keep in mind that the maximum length of a 3D matrix scan is 1.5m. Also, the analog gain and
TGC must be adjusted before saving the first B-scan. Switch to the B-scan view to adjust the
transmission parameters as required before commencing with the scan. After that, these
controls will be blocked.
