Abstract
The results of the non-destructive testing of objects with a beam of ultrasonic energy is enhanced by generating display control signals commensurate with a precisely defined region in the test object. These region related signals may be displayed as a 'gate' bar on the screen of a cathode ray tube simultaneously with the display of echo related signals. Echo related signals having a magnitude greater than a threshold level, as also defined by the 'gate' bar, are detected and may be employed to energize an alarm.
