Abstract: A portable microprocessor-controlled eddy current measuring system to automate qualitative testing of metallic bodies. The system embodies automatic setting of operating frequencies, self-tuning, and measures variations in impedance of the sensing coil that correspond to defects or variation of the material under test. Small changes in signal phase and amplitude are detected by fast hardware which is controlled by a microprocessor. Evaluation shows clear detection of defects upon phase analysis.
