Intermediate Echo Setup
Once setup is complete, the operator inspects unknown welds. When a ring-down pattern
appears from a weld, the Spotweld Assistant displays a weld rating in the upper right
corner of the live A-Scan that is continuously updated with the readings on the screen.
When weld inspections are stored to the datalogger, this rating is also saved as a file tag,
and can be either accepted or rejected by the trained operator as a correct weld rating. This
dynamic rating is a recommendation only and should not substitute for the judgment of a
trained professional inspector.
