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, …

Flagship DL01: Pulse Voltage
This post will indicate how you can measure the voltage available for pulsing the transducer for different settings. BUT, there are important considerations in understanding what the transducer actually experiences.
GXN Swappable HIVDC Module External Voltage Control
The DL0102GXN (“GXN”) can be configured for external HIVDC (Tx/pulse voltage) control. Here are the operating methods and parameters.
DacqMan + RS104 (IS-Target / Low Energy)
Here’s the quick start guide on how to acquire data with DacqMan running the RS104 (IS-Target, Low Energy) UT Scanner. This guide here includes just the basic steps. Really, just a few clicks to start your scan runs.
Firmware Flash Cables
Software programming tools and the programming cable with an adapter, if needed, are used to update the firmware on the DL and HDL family hardware.
IF2C (MUX) Build 2021C Information & Customization
The HDL-0108-IF2C (originally an accessory for the 102GXN, also usable as a multiplexer for the DLITE-0100A1) assembly/build has been modified in the 2021C build variant to minimize input losses for particular use-cases.
