Advanced analysis tools

Advanced analysis tools available in FocusPC so you can get the most out of the test data you get from FOCUS PX. Use advanced data processing algorithms to extract valuable information and make analysis more efficient, resulting in more accurate conclusions.

Customize display mode as required

FocusPC maybe Customize the display to better serve specific application requirements. Each screen mode also has a variety of changeable options, optimizing user experience and operating efficiency. Split and reorganize different screen modes to create layouts when setting up systems or analyzing data.

Software Development Kit (SDK)

Beyond software FocusPC and WeldSight For use with the Focus PX, Olympus also provides three software development kits (SDKs): FocusControl, FocusData and OpenView The SDK helps to customize the look and feel of your software based on your specific application, and the FocusPC control is fully automated and integrated into existing production lines.

OpenView SDK

For apps that require specific features or custom skins that can't be done with FOCUS PC nice WeldSight, OpenView SDK allows you to create your own control interface and features for your application such as camera integration, defect location marker. OpenView SDK compatible with industrial software PaymentWare are from UTEX and library HaroUT LabView are from Harotek making software development for the PAUT ultrasonic inspection solution never so easy and fast.

Application-specific user interface

Building user interfaces based on built-in functions makes the testing process more efficient. The highly customizable interface provides greater control over the system's workflow, enabling deep integration and reducing the risk of operator mistakes.

Automate the test process

Use FocusData and FocusControl SDK for custom software development and control FOCUS PX integrates with fully automated devices, maximizing performance, reducing down time and improving overall system efficiency.

Automated or custom data analysis

Use the SDK to gain direct access to test data from your software, enabling the development of application-specific data representations and on-demand analysis tools.

Robots, climbers, crawlers and pigs

Inspection robots in NDT enable data collection for more accurate and efficient maintenance planning, thereby reducing system downtime, increasing availability of industrial facilities, and bringing more profitable, promoting the safety of people and the environment. We always work with system integrators and bring automated testing solutions.

The Focus PX is an ultrasonic data processor and receiver that can be easily integrated into PA and UT automated test systems.
