Abstract

An eddy current test apparatus and method in which multiple sequential test frequencies are employed. The voltage induced in a sensing coil at said test frequencies are multiplexed and frequency translated to provide a single frequency for processing. The apparatus employs a single channel to process the induced voltages.
