   - Inspection before launching manufacturing
   - Optimize your radiographic inspection
   - Design and selection of a probe/source
   - Assessing the deterioration factors
   - Train and prepare your staff
   - Validate inspection procedures
   - Simulation to ensure successful implementation
   - Optimize your qualification process
   - Increase the reliability of your POD curves
   - Improve the reliability of your diagnosis

CIVA TIP: Define the tranduscer… just once!
This is not  a new feature in CIVA but it remains quite unknown : This is possible to save all the parameters of your transducers in a set of different files in order to build your own library of probes, ready to load in Civa. 

You can really save time using this feature as this is not so easy to access to the information relative to the probe parameters (geometry, focusing, signal,...), so… just look at the manufacturer sheet once !
This is also an interesting feature in order to share the knowledge with your colleagues and to avoid to make some mistakes when entering input data
 
How to do that ? Really simple !
 
 
Once, you have filled all the information in  the probe panel, just select the menu « File »  then « Save » on the top left side of the panel.

Then, enter a name ( well…let’s put clearly the probe reference !)    and  save  the information, this is just a simple file that you put on your disk.
 
When you want to define the same probe for another project, just load all probe data  from the same place with the « open » menu , don’t spend time any more looking for the manufacturer data sheet…

And actually this feature is available similarly for other panels: Component, Flaw,...
