ALD® AUV inspection mode
This ALD® AUV mode has been designed to be installed into an autonomous unmanned vehicle; is a stand alone version able to record the data to be post processed after the inspection using the standard ALD® software. Data are also subject to a light processing in real time calculating a leak proabability index.
Features
