Abstract

An eddy current type of nondestructive testing instrument is disclosed in which the operating frequency is automatically adjusted in accordance with a comparison of output signals obtained in scanning operations in which the frequency is adjusted over its range. The system may be used, for example, in providing lift-off compensation for conductivity measurements or flaw detection or it may be used for sorting of parts of different characteristics.
