MANUAL PROBE CARRIAGE SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USING THE SAME

摘要

A probe support carriage for use during probing an electrical device include s a body (250), means for supporting and positioning the body (250), a plurality of flux sensors and a position sensor. The body (250) has a first end (252) and a second end (256). The plurality of flux sensors are operatively connected to the body (250). Each flux sensor includes a probe (100) having a core and a coil. The core includes a material having high initial permeability and high resistivity characteristics. The probe (100) is adapted to being supported so that a sensing portion of the core is maintained in a contact-free spaced relationship between a predetermined surface of the electrical device and the sensing portion of the core. The position sensor is adapted t o determine position along a longitudinal axis of the electrical device.
