Abstract
An electromagnetic sensor cable has components including a first sensor cable segment having a plurality of spaced apart electrodes on the first sensor cable segment an electrical conductors coupled to the electrodes such that at least one of the electrodes is electrically connectible at at least one longitudinal end of the first sensor cable segment. The sensor cable includes a second sensor cable segment configured substantially the same as the first sensor cable segment. A first signal processing and configuration module has signal processing circuitry configured to perform at least one of measuring voltages across selected pairs of electrodes, and communicating signals representative of voltages measured across selected pairs of electrodes. The cable components are each configured to connect at the lateral ends one to another.
