- SDT270 — in-depth analysis of problem assets
- SDT340 — full spectral analysis
- Resolution — repair or replace
Method of use
Daily checks
- Visual inspection of equipment
- ULTRAChecker for fast diagnostics
- Documenting results
- Comparison with previous measurements
Prioritisation
- Critical — immediate attention
- Important — schedule repair
- Monitoring — continue observation
Trend analysis
- Regular measurements
- Comparison against reference values
- Tracking changes
- Failure forecasting
Firmware update
