Notes for Efficient use of eZ-NDT
1. It will save you time, if you modify the NDT project in the executable’s directory to match your
standard configuration. Whenever you create a New Project, this project is the configuration
template that is copied into your new project.
2. For ZonicBook-Medallion users only: Make sure the Dip switches are configured correctly.
(Typically: Single Ended, AC coupled, and ICP ON.)
3. Use a standard channel location convention for your Force and Response channels.
Typically: Force is channel 1 and Response is channel 2. Popular labels are: “Trigger” or
“Hammer” for Force and “Microphone” for Response.
4. If you aren’t getting a Trigger after you strike the part, verify the Force channel’s FSV and
Trigger Level Percentage.
5. A negative Pre / Post Trigger percentage will result in FRF calculations and limit checking. A
positive Pre / Post Trigger percentage will use auto spectrum. Generally, you should use a positive
Pre / Post Trigger percentage.
6. Some older versions of eZ-NDT created multiple project files (i.e., files with extensions “.ndt1”,
“.ndt2”, etc.). If you wish to open an older file with newer versions of eZ-NDT which use only one
file, simply open the old “.ndt1” file. This old project will automatically be converted to a single file
with a “.ndt” extension.
7. If for some reason, you have an error where eZ-NDT does not start. You can work around the
problem by deleting the file, “ndt.ini,” located in the executable’s directory. This file identifies the
last Project opened. You can delete this file without affecting your data. Try reopening the last
project.
