Its slim design boasts an unprecedented weight of only 65 lb. / 30 kg. The Mark IV tank loor scanner offers both manual and mapping modes. The manual setting provides inspectors with a real-time display alongside a C-Scan mapping preview screen. In order to retain consistent results, operators receive immediate feedback while scanning from the new Speed Tracking feature. This feature ensures operators that they are scanning within an optimal speed range. Along with Speed Tracking, the Mark IV tank scanner contains Speed Compensation Software which normalizes the signal response when scanning within the speed tracking range. The most impressive renovation, however, may, in fact, be the Mark IV tank scanner's user-friendly mapping software. Mapping tank loor bottoms can be a complicated process with other scanners, yet with the Mark IV tank scanner, an operator can map a tank loor bottom in minutes. The software guides the operator through an intuitive process that begins with quickly generating a sketch of the tank loor bottom and ends with a comprehensive detailed MFL map of the tank loor bottom. Operators are able to choose features such as setting annular plates, designating the corner and offset, and coating thickness with a few taps on the touchscreen Getac F110 screen. SOFTWARE Alarm on Defect Mode Manual Mode Mapping Mode User-Friendly Software: The software guides the operator through an intuitive process that begins with quickly generating a sketch of the tank loor bottom and ends with a comprehensive detailed MFL map of the tank loor bottom. Real-Time Display: The real-time “A-Scan” display features an LED signal response that runs concurrently with a “C-Scan” mapping preview that clearly illustrates where the defect is relative to the magnetic bridge. This allows defects to be located even faster and drastically eliminates the needs of the scanner to be constantly moving while locating defects. Tank Floor Bottom: In less than 10 minutes, the operator can quickly recreate the tank loor plate layout, including annular plates. Detailed information for each plate is not required until the operator is ready to begin the MFL scan. Speed Tracking: Our new speed tracking feature provides the operator immediate feedback so they are conident they are scanning within an optimal speed range, ensuring consistent, reliable, and accurate results. Speed Compensation Software: Speed Compensation Software allows operators scanning at different speeds to obtain the same results. The signal response is normalized when scanning within the speed tracking range.
