Sistema de controle do disparo e captura de eco ultrassônico para ensaios não destrutivos

Abstract

The configuration and control of non-destructive tests with ultrasound are processes that requires a large number of operations by the inspector. This project aims to build a system that simplifies those processes by creating a centralized system, which provide the central functionalities necessary to perform tests in a graphical application in MATLAB environment. The system was constructed with kits from Texas Instruments, National Instruments, and Xilinx. One kit sends an ultrasonic pulse, another captures the echo signal and does the analog-to-digital conversion of this signal and, lastly, the application shows the echo signal on the computer screen.
