GIM software has the following merits in guided wave testing of pipeline:

1. Generate inspection report with the information of geometric features in pipeline drawing
   • Better distance, amplitude, and attenuation calibration by considering many geometric feature locations.
   • Automatic setting threshold level and finding indications
   • Automatic marking of all geometric features
2. Analyze up to 8 data sets for finding more defects at multiple center frequencies
3. Better estimate defect size with multiple frequencies
4. Generate ultrasonic images of a selected signal and save its image in many different frequencies. The ultrasonic image includes rf data plot, video data plot, spectrogram plot, FFT plot of selected signal
5. Has function of merging and separating signals for better marking of indications
6. Has automatic parameter setting function in data acquisition
7. Includes several data display function
8. Shows the tested frequency in data acquisition
9. Includes monitoring software that allows subtracting the monitoring data from the baseline data
