Abstract
An electromechanical XY carriage sweeps a magnetic or electrical field probe across a circuit board line by line to acquire field strength data as a function of probe position relative to the board. Colored field maps are produced. The carriage is controllable to obtain very high resolution data. A magnetic probe includes a single loop oriented parallel to the board or a loop oriented perpendicular to the board and selectively parallel to or perpendicular to the x axis of the carriage. Different field maps are produced by different probe orientations and each provides information regarding the circuit traces which carry rf currents.
