Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Da Vinci Delta different from conventional flaw detectors?
The Da Vinci Delta is Modsonic’s imaging-class flaw detector, combining all conventional features with advanced capabilities including real-time colour coded B-Scan, TOFD (Time of Flight Diffraction) display, encoded B-Scan with optical encoder support, T-LOG data logging, VGA video output for monitor or projector connection, and a 20,000-reading T-LOG memory — features not found on standard portable flaw detectors.
What is the test range and frequency range of the Da Vinci Delta?
The Da Vinci Delta covers a test range of 2.5 mm to 10 metres (0.100 in to 400 in) for longitudinal waves in steel, with Fine mode adjustable in minimum steps of 0.01 mm. It features a tuned amplifier with four selectable frequency bands: 0.2–1 MHz, 0.5–4 MHz, 0.8–8 MHz, and 2–20 MHz.
What are the B-Scan and TOFD capabilities of the Da Vinci Delta?
The Da Vinci Delta displays real-time colour coded B-Scan alongside a live A-Scan simultaneously. For TOFD, it shows a real-time RF A-Scan and TOFD D-Scan with post-capture review using a cursor. B-Scan can be recorded free-run or with a positional encoder for actual location mapping, with a record length of 1000 mm at 1 mm collection steps.
What are the DGS, DAC, and TCG capabilities of the Da Vinci Delta?
The Da Vinci Delta features DGS/AVG for defect size evaluation using 18 predefined probe set-ups plus one custom set-up per memory location, with ERS (Equivalent Reflector Size) displayed directly on screen. Its dynamic DAC plots a smooth parabolic curve with offset curves from 0 to 14 dB in 0.1 dB steps using 2 to 10 points. TCG (Time Controlled Gain) can be activated after plotting the DAC curve, bringing all echo signals to equal height regardless of depth.
How much data can the Da Vinci Delta store?
The Da Vinci Delta stores 500 A-Scan trace patterns and 50 B-Scans with notes and details, plus 50 calibration set-ups. T-LOG stores up to 20,000 readings in 20 different files with five file template types. Unlimited A-Scans and B-Scans can be stored directly on an external USB disk with automatic file naming.
What is the battery life and weight of the Da Vinci Delta?
The Da Vinci Delta is powered by a Lithium-Ion battery pack (10.8V DC, 7.8 AH) with a built-in charge indicator and fuel gauge, providing 8 hours of continuous operation. It can also operate on 6 C-type dry cells as a backup. The instrument weighs 2.1 kg with battery and measures 170×260×110 mm.
What PC software and printer connectivity does the Da Vinci Delta support?
The Da Vinci Delta comes with dVaSoft Interface software for transferring A-Scans, B-Scans, and T-LOG data from the instrument to a PC for analysis, reporting, and printing. A USB printer (PCL3 compatible) can also be directly attached to the instrument for on-site printing of stored A-Scan waveforms with calibration data and notes.
