Advanced Features
AMS has the following advanced features to make it especially suitable for more complex system testing and internal validation requirements:
- The software uses a "probe definition file" which contains all the necessary probe information such as nominal frequencies, apertures, focal locations, scanning conditions, etc. (this file is generated by a separate program that guides the user through the data input process). Once loaded, the system software can then cycle through the various probe conditions to generate a complete measurement set.
- A "script file" can be used to automate a specific sequence of tests.
- If the system under test can be interfaced to the host computer, the AMS software can be set up to control the system and run through a programmable set of test conditions. This allows the system to automatically run through all the focal zones, pulse types, etc. of a given probe, allowing for unattended operation.
- All measurement and reporting features can be independently verified using external data files. The system has been designed to allow for the input of test files, such as waveforms and beam plots, to validate the results of the calculation package. This is important when any software changes are made by the customer to allow for traceable verification of the software results.
