This is a killer video quickly covering topics such as I/ that otherwise require thousands of hours of Olympus archive videos to uncover. Can Evident just make an encyclopedia of all the hidden secrets you just have to be born knowing? 😂
In the old instructions, Olympus would have you build a manual TCG. I assume there are pros and cons to constructing one and not constructing one. Would you happen to have any recommendations as to when to use a TCG and when not to?
I skipped the TCG on this one, as it's not really necessary. It's a nice-to-have, but just to to optimize the appearance of the C-scan for the report. For analysis, you're going to be using soft gain and cursors anyways, and since corrosion is not an amplitude-based inspection, you can skip it.
Thanks for sharing, not seen the new Hydro form in the flesh, can the probe still be manipulated with your fingers with the lock nut loose to cover compound curves like the old one? ATB Dave
Not really, but I know what you mean. It locks in a little differently than the last one. With Gen 1 and the thumb screw, you could kinda turn it half way tight and still wiggle it. This one is a locking mechanism, so it's fully engaged or disengaged.
Hi Paul, what’s about A/ - B/ mode with corrosion mapping? Did you also make calibration of encoder in hydroform mark 2, pls make video about flexform.
Yeah you should always do the actual measurements on echo to echo, but the C-scan on B/-A/ won't look very complete. The B/ signal is too inconsistent.
Great video, Paul! The squirrel made me chuckle!

Great, thanks for sharing Paul , another 5 minutes for easy set.
Thanks Paul, most videos are aimed at the MX2, very good high level overview.
