tom, in a previous reply you mentioned strange things happening with other transducers by snappy, ats, etc. are these kinds of issues a non issue with this particular transducer?
here is your earlier reply: "We have hit a snag regarding an odd behavior of certain types of transducers we had never really explored. We are not sure yet, but it seems the type of transducer design as well as the materials impact this behavior. Many we have looked at, as candidates for this new package, have tested perfectly on the bench but under dynamic conditions, found during a running compression tests, the negative pressures skew. They show negative pressures that are impossible.
Many of this type are in use today and marketed by Snap-On, ATS and others. These sensors are just not suitable and do not meet our standards for accuracy. As you know, our group is a discerning bunch. But, we are not being too picky here, these are all wildly inaccurate. Some have software compensations that are designed to cover up the problem but they do not solve it.
We do think we are heading in the right direction with this and will soon be looking at an entirely different design transducer that I hope will not exhibit these issues. Once we do, we will have something quite unique and superior. We want to actually solve the problem, not cover it up.
The goal here is to get a transducer setup that is versatile, accurate, and produces a clean detailed pattern. More on this, as it develops.
We will eventually produce a presentation detailing the issues and comparing behavior of different units. Hopefully along with one that is the way it should be...."
