Figure 104: Merged result.
Figure 105: Field vector.
As shown inFigure 105, the field vector is generated by combining the measured X, and Y
components of the field. However, this does not guarantee an accurate representation of the
actual field; as the probe would have to rotate and perform a continuous measurement through a
90 degree angle ensure an accurate reading. The scara type robots used in the SmartScan
technology can only rotate the shaft the probe is connected too in finite steps, so continuous
measurement is not possible. Additionally, the X and Y magnitude arrows will always point in
the positive direction, as SmartScan measures only the scalar magnitude of the field, and displays
the absolute numbers.
