This document contains information related to the newly released edition of TomoView 2.10R21.
For more information on the related NDT Remote Control Library and NDT Data Access Library
versions, refer to the corresponding release notes.
2. What is TomoView?
TomoView is a PC-based software for data acquisition with the following units:
o TomoScan FOCUS LT (standard or rackmount)
o OmniScan MX with PA1 and UT1 modules, OmniScan MX2 with PA1, PA2 (32:128 and
32:128PR) and UT1 modules
o TomoScan FOCUS, Tomoscan III PA, µTomoscan™ and MultiScan MS5800 (UT only)
► Important Note: TomoView does not support the OmniScan iX for data acquisition.
TomoView is a PC-based software for UT data visualization and reporting for data acquired
with the following units:
o TomoScan FOCUS LT (standard or rackmount)
o OmniScan MX with PA1 and UT1 modules (version 2.0R2 or higher), OmniScan MX2

3.4 OmniScan MX2 – PA2 32:128 and 32:128PR modules support
Starting from TomoView 2.10R12, the OmniScan MX2 equipped with a PA2 32:128 and 32:128PR
modules can be used in inspection mode. Note that the OSTV PA2 1.0R1 software must be installed on
the instrument storage card for this mode to be supported.
3.6 OmniScan MX2 – PA2 & UT2 modules data files support
Starting from TomoView 2.10R4, data files generated using an OmniScan MX2 with PA2 and UT2
modules will be supported by TomoView. These data files can be associated with MXU 3.2 or higher
OmniScan MX2 software versions.

8. Compatibility with Previous Versions
8.1 Installation
TomoView 2.10 is compatible with the previous versions of TomoView (from TomoView 2.2 to
TomoView 2.10). Both revisions can be installed on the same computer.
However, a specific Bootp configuration needs to be saved and reloaded for each software version.
Before installing TomoView 2.10, save the Bootp configuration into a file (for instance bootp file
TomoView2.7.cfg). Install TomoView 2.10 and save new Bootp configuration in another file (for
instance bootp file TomoView2.10.cfg). Before turning on the acquisition units, load the proper file
into the Bootp, and then click the restart button. You can now open the related version of TomoView.
Note: the Bootp shortcut is found in the configuration panel.
► Important Note : You can be kept informed of the new TomoView 2.10 software version releases at
the following link: https://www.olympus-ims.com/en/service-and-support/downloads/subscribe/
► Important Note: To fully benefit from the new display features of TomoView, it is recommended to
convert OmniScan data files with the new converter even though they were converted into an .rdt
format using a previous version of the converter. The multibeam C-scan image can be displayed for
any sector scan (multiple refracted beam angles or constant beam angles) only if the file was
converted with the TomoView 2.10.
► Important Note: In order to install the NDT Data Access Library 1.12 version (which will replace the
NDT Data Access Library 1.11 version from TomoView 2.10R16), the NDT Data Access Library 1.11
should be fully uninstalled prior to the installation of the new version. The NDT Data Access Library
enables the access to the raw data from OmniScan iX, MX, MX2 & SX (*.oud and *.opd) and TomoView
(*.rdt) data files.
8.2 Files
Setup files and data files saved in a previous version of TomoView (higher than 2.2) can be loaded in
TomoView 2.10 (using the same acquisition unit). In some cases, it might be necessary to rebuild the
layout using the predefined display layout of TomoView 2.10.
► Set-up files or data files created in TomoView 2.10 should not be loaded into a previous version
which could create software instability and unexpected behavior.
