Flagship DL01: “Damping” Section: Values and Selections

You could call this part of the board by various names, most of which are printable. Here, we’re just calling it “damping”. It’s rudimentary and is there to be adjusted across assembly variants and system needs, with some basic runtime operability. It can tune the output and cable/XD interface a bit. Mostly, from early work, …

DL0100A1: Connect ME (CME) Implementation and Testing

The DL0100A1 (DLITE0100A1) hardware is also compatible with the family of Connect modules from Digi International, including the ME (rectangular enclosed modules) and EM (exposed PCB, lower profile, flat-ish) series, both available in standard (Ethernet) and “Wi-” versions (WiFi). Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) is also supported. This article presents manufacturer links, and implementation information basics. “CME” refers …

Exact Tx-Rx Timing in DL-Family Hardware

Examples of how to assess and change transmit pulse and receive signal timing in the DLITE0100A1 firmware. This is a “flash” post: very quick, draft. You can also probe signals, both digital and analog, at various points on the hardware to get a real-world assessment. Nominally, the Rx Delay implementation has an offset and scale …

DLITE0100A1 Jumper (Shunt) Settings

Several jumpers or shunts on the board, typically placed in default locations, control configurable functionality and provide several implementation options and/or options for experimentation with the board. DL0100A1 (for short) is an 8-channel ultrasonic-for-NDT pulser-receiver board. In this article, photos are omitted by design.

DL0100A1 vs RS8 vs RS104: Comparison

These two 8-Channel and 1 4-Channel ultrasonic (UT) pulser-receivers for non-destructive testing (NDT) boards share several characteristics and also target very different use-cases. That is, each is optimized for different applications.
