The Eureka PCUF is a very high speed ultrasonic flaw detector which is designed for OEM ultrasonic applications and in-line ultrasonic inspection systems.

The Eureka PCUF is a plug and play compatible PCI card which is capable of bus master data transfers.


0.5 to 20MHz bandwidth

20KHz pulse repetition rate

10 bit A/D conversion at 200MHz for 100% pulse repetition rate

Excellent near surface resolution

Very low noise in the PC environment, better than 20% full screen height

Capable of high speed A-Scan and C-Scan data transfers using a bus master data transfer
