Software Options

All ECHO FD Software Options are field upgradeable via the keypad. Danatronics offers a unique and convenient way to upgrade your gages. The upgrades are done directly from your gage and do not require the use of a computer. The advantages of the Echo FD being field upgradeable are:

Never worry about downtime
No extra shipping cost
Less cost of ownership due to less freight and duty
No need to worry about the product being obsolete
Simple and Fast to perform

Reading an IIW Reference Standard using a Echo FD

The Field upgradeable options for the ECHO FD are:

Corrosion Software
Included with ECHO 9FD and ECHO 8FD
When corrosion software is added to the ECHO FD it becomes both a corrosion thickness gage as well as a flaw detector.
The corrosion portion of the software for ECHO 9FD is equivalent to the ECHO 9DLW

Precision software
Included with ECHO 7FD and ECHO 8FD
When precision software is added to the ECHO FD it becomes both a precision thickness gage as well as a flaw detector.
The precision portion of the software for ECHO 7FD is equivalent to the ECHO 7DLW.

Pipe curvature correction
Corrects for sound path calculations based on angle and pipe material and diameter.

Waveform template overlay
Conveniently allows operator to compare a sample or “good” waveform to a live waveform.

Floating Gate
Floating Gate - Adjusts to -6 or -12 db for consistent edge depth thickness readings

The following accessories are available for the ECHO FD series

Spring Loaded Holder
The spring loaded holder (SPH-718) is the ideal fixture to be used on small diameter applications such as tubing to prevent the probe from rocking. The probe can be rotated as well and the fixture has v-notches to assist in probe alignment.

Chest harness
Custom 4 point chest harness with comfortable adjustment of straps for shoulder and waste line. Comes with metal detents

Magnetic Pipe Holder
Available magnetic pipe holder that screws onto the ¼, 20 connector on the ECHO 9. This is ideal to stabilizing the ECHO 9 on a larger pipe or any magnetic surface and can even be used up side down.

Also with the ¼, 20 connector on the back of the Echo FD will connect to various camera accessories, such as a gorilla pod for holding the unit in a particular place
