Phased Array Imaging Package
with Advanced Conventional Ultrasound
The EPOCH® 1000i provides powerful conven‑
tional ultrasonic and phased array flaw detection
in a portable, rugged instrument. This instrument
offers increased probability of detection of flaws,
better visualization of areas of interest, and im‑
proves inspection efficiency by enabling a single
setup to view A‑scans at multiple angles (focal
laws), thus eliminating the need for multiple
probes and wedges. This instrument provides
the same reliable and exceptional performance
for conventional detection as the EPOCH 1000,
with the added benefit of phased array capabili‑
ties. The EPOCH 1000i allows you to perform
code‑compliant inspections in accordance with
conventional standards, with the advantage of
phased array for increased accuracy and ef‑
ficiency.
Available with a standard 16:16 configura‑
tion and upgradable to 16:64 configuration via
software, the EPOCH 1000i also includes many
sizing features to facilitate in flaw inspections.

Combined A-scan and S-scan Views
The EPOCH 1000i features a standard combined A‑scan and
S‑scan view that displays A‑scan data from every angle between
two user‑defined start and end values. Each individual angle, col‑
lectively referred to as focal laws, can be selected to display a live
A‑scan enabling you to detect and characterize potential defects
at multiple angles simultaneously using phased array imaging.
Calibration Across All Focal Laws
When calibrating for gain and zero offset in phased array mode,
the EPOCH 1000i
across all focal laws. These automated calibration procedures
allow you to capture peak amplitude or TOF/distance measure‑
ments from a single reflector across all the imaging angles (focal
laws). The instrument then uses the captured amplitude or TOF/
distance data to adjust the gain and zero offset at each focal law
so that calibrated measurements are provided for every A‑scan.

Phased Array Features for Manual Imaging Inspections
Phased Array DAC Edit Mode Phased Array DGS/AVG Mode
Standard DAC/TVG for All Focal Laws
The EPOCH 1000i comes standard with DAC/TVG for all focal
laws. This allows you to acquire a DAC curve, or create a TVG
setup from known reflectors for all defined angles/focal laws at
once. The instrument then allows you to edit individual points
acquired during setup for precise DAC or TVG presentation. After
completing the setup, you can use the S‑scan image to detect
potential defects at various focal laws.
Standard Phased Array DGS/AVG
The DGS/AVG flaw sizing technique is included as a standard
option in phased array mode. This feature uses the probe ID and
wedge information to establish the DGS/AVG curve characteris‑
tics, and applies the curve at 0°, 45°, 60°, and 70° focal laws. The
standard EPOCH onboard DGS/AVG menu and modified GAIN
calibration tool allow for quick and easy setup. The option also
provides an interpolated image TVG for easy detection across a
given soundpath range.

Weld Inspection Solutions with Phased Array
Multi-Angle Phased Array ModePhased Array S-scan with Weld Overlay
Weld Overlay
Weld Overlay is a standard inclusion on the EPOCH 1000i, pro‑
viding a visual reference of a weld profile on the S‑scan display.
This profile enables you to visualize the relative position of indi‑
cations in relation to the weld geometry.
A weld centerline cursor allows manual positioning of the overlay
on the S‑scan. The Weld Overlay enhances your ability to locate,
characterize, and size flaws within the component during inspec‑
tion, and improves reporting.
EPOCH 1000i Multi-Angle
The EPOCH 1000i phased array mode includes a standard feature
called Multi‑Angle. This feature enables you to designate any
three angles, or focal laws, available in the sector scan as “vis‑
ible” focal laws. The A‑scans from each of the three designated
angles are overlaid, one on top of the other in the A‑scan window,
enabling you to view all three A‑scans at the same time. Each
individual angle is color coded for ease of use. This feature is
perfect for inspectors using conventional sizing methods requiring
evaluation at 45°, 60°, and 70°.
True Depth Gates
Measurements gates can be displayed in True Depth mode on the
Sector Scan, thus enabling you to acquire measurements from a
constant depth area throughout the part, regardless of the focal
law selected. This is particularly helpful when using the encoded
C‑scan option, as it enables you to collect information for one
entire skip distance with a single gate position.
The True Depth gates display as horizontal lines on the S‑scan
only; the A‑scan view remains in Soundpath mode.

AWS “D” Weld Rating displayed for 45° focal lawA-scan and S-scan view with True Depth Gates
AWS Weld Rating
The EPOCH 1000i comes with an AWS D1.1/D1.5 weld rating
calculator. In conjunction with Olympus’ AWS‑rated phased
array transducer, this enables you to use imaging capabilities for
flaw detection while sizing flaws at 45°, 60°, and 70° using the
conventional A‑scan technique, and also view the D value for
onscreen weld rating of any selected A‑scan (focal law).

Linear Scans and Encoded C-scans
This optional software feature expands the EPOCH 1000i to a
16:64 element configuration and enables linear scans in addition
to encoded or timed C‑scans. Linear scans are collected using a
probe with up to 64 elements, and a maximum active aperture of
16 elements.
C‑scan imaging is created by accumulating image data from the
programmed linear scan or S‑scan across a single‑line scan axis.
An encoder is required to track the position as the probe is moved
along the scan axis. This encoded C‑scan image collects both time
of flight (TOF) and amplitude data from two independent mea‑
surement gates. The live A‑scan is viewable during C‑scan
acquisition. Compressed A‑scan images can be stored for all
points on the C‑scan, and can be reviewed along with the S‑scan
or liner scan from a particular C‑scan location for basic visual
analysis. Data source and type can be adjusted dynamically after
the scan is acquired, and cursors are available for basic scan
sizing. Additional color palettes are available for phased array
image scans. These color palettes provide different color scales for
use with varied applications, and can be modified to meet your
specific needs.
