ultrasonic2root

Simple ROOT script to convert ultrasonic A-C-S data into a ROOT file. Further analysis can then be performed.

Installing the Olympus NDT Software in a Virtual Machine

• install Virtualbox

• create a virtual machine running Microsoft Windows

• add your user to the vboxuser group:

  $ sudo adduser $USER vboxusers

• log out and log in again to refresh

• in Windows: install OmniPC and the KeyTool from the USB Stick provided with the device

• connect the USB Key Dongle to your computer, but do not mount it

• in Virtualbox: click Device - USB - select the key

• run the KeyTool

• run OmniPC, right click on the A-C-S image to export

• the exported .txt file is saved in C:\Users\Public\Documents\Olympus NDT\OmniPC\Export

• copy/move the files to your ultrasonic2root directory

Running the Script

To run, source your ROOT environment with

$ source /your/root/path/bin/thisroot.sh

and then run

$ root -l main.cc+g

or compile with

$ g++ -I `root-config --incdir` -o ultrasonic.exe main.cc `root-config --libs` -std=c++0x -pedantic -Wextra

and then run

$ ./ultrasonic.exe

The input file to be used can be passed as an argument:

$ ./ultrasonic.exe myfile.txt

The filename will be used for output, in this case myfile.root
