Abstract
A method of detecting defects using eddy currents is disclosed. The method comprises:
- exciting eddy currents in a test material using an eddy current probe driven by a drive signal;detecting induced eddy currents in the test material;converting the detected signal into integer values using an analog to digital converter; andadding or subtracting the generated integer values to or from each of two accumulators, or taking no action, so that one accumulator produces a value proportional to one component of the detected signal and the other produces a value proportional to another component of the detected signal and using these values to detect the presence of a defect.
