NDT 1717IL is a 17-inch radiation hard a-Si FPD for real-time imaging. The detector supports frame rates up to 18 fps, and the 16 bit ADC provides high dynamic range and excellent contrast-to-noise ratio. Data communication is accomplished by optical interface, and the iRay software SDK provides support for detector calibration, configuration, image acquisition, pre-processing and viewing on a workstation running the MS Windows operating system. The NDT 1717IL is suitable for industrial NDT applications such as in casting inspections and SMD counting.
