Inspecting materials and industrial components with ultrasound usually requires firing multiple probes in a specific sequence, but waiting between pulses can significantly slow down the inspection process. This invention introduces a smart computer-controlled system that calculates the exact minimum waiting time needed between every possible pulse combination. By analyzing these calculations, the system automatically determines the fastest possible firing sequence for the probes. As a result, ultrasonic testing can be completed much more quickly and efficiently without sacrificing accuracy.
