Abstract

An apparatus for testing a component by ultrasound comprises a plurality of identical devices. Each device has several channels of ultrasonic transducers as well as a master controller. The individual devices are daisy-chained and controlled by one of their master controllers. Mechanical connectors can be used to mechanically couple adjacent devices. Further, a number of differently shaped handles is provided, all of which can be coupled to a common handle interface.
