Needed a test probe to provide a operational metering test after board repair and self-calibration for some old semi-obsolete systems.

The analog boards require just the GaAs sensor element and a few resistors for (non-calibrated) operation to test 3 Tesla magnetic fields control systems. The calibrated probes are far too expensive and rare to use for repair testing.

The measurement Hall element of the new probe.

Element mounted on vector board with Kapton polyimide film tape for protection.

Test magnet.

Analog output zero'd with mag-base off in the Fluke 8846A.

Mag-base on and sensor board edge touching. It looks like 10 volts would be a good min test voltage in the repair spec.

 

Typical hall probe usage. For most applications the absolute value is not a calibration requirement. High precision and repeatability for a given 'tuned' machine setup is paramount.

The ion energy delivered by the Axcelis GSD/HE ion implanter is determined by the setting of the Final Energy Magnet (FEM). A gauss probe situated between the FEM poles is used to measure magnetic field; this probe has high precision and repeatability, but does not measure absolute magnetic field.
