FT Configurations

Function Tests (FTs) are individually configured for each sensor, comparing well-coupled transmitter and receiver components to a baseline survey. The baseline survey may be a factory reference or an initial project survey for comparison.

Applies to BTField version 15.4.0 and onward. BTField now registers the Troodon-Screener-IV, UT4-SurfRover, and UT4-TPH platforms, which are selectable in the acquisition / DAQ configuration. Their detailed Function Test configurations will be added here once finalised.

Demonstration of configuring the FT for the UT-CA system

Configure the single-transmitter system with well-coupled Tx-Rx measurements in the Z and X directions. In the X-direction, utilize a measurement from a neighboring cube instead of the cube below the test item placement (TIP). To configure this measurement, right-click and select the neighboring cube.
