Abstract
EADS Corporate Research Center (EADS CRC) designs specific NDT solutions for EADS business units. Prototypes often appear to be difficult to turn into industrial tools, because of adaptable device price or the impossibility to adapt existing apparatus to specific uses. That is why EADS CRC decided to have its own electronics developed, aiming at low cost, portable, versatile and easy-to-use NDT devices. These were designed as computer peripherals so that some smart adapted functions can be more easily implemented and transferred to end-users. Besides, these peripherals are powered via the connection to the computer, which allows their use on portable computers.Under a given environment, the device may use procedures, settings, modelling results as inputs and produce formatted reports, specific imaging or even simply a diagnosis for instance a go/no go answer as outputs.These developments will lead to a much easier and cheaper use of NDT devices for our end-users, and thus to a much wider dissemination.
