eddyCurrent¶

ET Typeobject 4.3.0

The eddyCurrent object serves as a general purpose eddy current acquisition process.

Property Type Unit Description
probeId required integer - The id of the probe used
sensorGroupId required integer - The sensor group associated to this process, defined in the corresponding probe object
driveAmplitude required number V Peak output voltage setting of the acquisition unit
frequency required number Hz Test frequency associated to this group
gain number dB Hardware gain applied to all channels
channels required array - A channels array

Drive Amplitude

The drive amplitude may differ from the voltage at the coil level since output impedance, load resistors, and multiplexer amplification are not accounted for here.

channels¶

ET Typearray 4.3.0

Property Type Description
id required integer Unique id of the channel within the eddyCurrent process
sensorId required integer The sensor associated to this channel, refers to a sensor defined in the sensorGroup
inputId integer The analog eddy current signal input associated to this channel acquisition
timeslot integer The discrete moment in the multiplexing sequence when a specific sensor is energized and its response is measured
