TOPAZ – Technical Guidelines 3
1. PaintBrush Scanner Support
NDT PaintBrush™ is a hand held scanner with dual encoder design that allows free motion on a scan-
index inspection canvas. Not bounded by single axis motion, it allows you to freely paint over the
surface to examine for enhance wall thickness measurements. NDT PaintBrush features were integrated
to the TOPAZ™ and now available in UltraVision through the touch interface.
