The distance between adjacent defects also affects test resolution. If the<br />

frequency response of the probe is 10kHz, adjacent defects must be<br />

separated by a time interval of 0.0001 s to provide electrical separation of the<br />

signals. If the linear throughput of the automated line is 6 fps, defects that are<br />

(6 x 12)/ 10,000 = 0.0072 inch apart can be resolved by a single probe<br />

element. However, it must be remembered that the typical probe has an<br />

effective diameter of ¼ in. and is not a point source. Therefore, defects must<br />

be about ¼ in. apart for total signal separation.<br />
