It is recommended that you are familiar with Eddy Current theory and application before using the MIZ-28, and that you use it only for the functions for which it has been designed. Zetec offers a wide variety of courses dealing with electromagnetic inspection theory and applications. This includes classes that are specific to either eddy current testing (ECT) or remote field testing (RFT). Some formal courses can be used to help qualify inspectors to meet specific certification criteria for either data acquisition or data analysis. Other informal courses can be designed with variable content and duration to meet specific application needs. Contact the Training Department at 425-974-2700 for more details.
The MIZ-28 instrument is used for eddy current inspections of heat exchanger tubing in balance-of-plant applications. It works seamlessly with all existing Zetec software and hardware products. Zetecs MIZ-28 offers a color display, selectable data presentation, menu-driven user interface, high digital sampling rates, bandpass and differential filters, and two independent balance controls. This versatile, fully digital tester provides maximum stability, reliability, and sensitivity.Testing capabilities include heat exchanger and air conditioner tube testing, weld inspection, and a broad variety of other eddy current applications. Packaged in a rugged portable carrying case, the MIZ-28 is ideal for industrial environments. An active matrix color display shows test information from almost every angle. The use of color provides quick channel identification without having to read the setup screen. The real-time display constantly indicates the coil impedance point shift and closely emulates a storage oscilloscope display. The MIZ-28 presents the phase and amplitude vectors of the eddy current signal as a two-dimensional Lissajous figure. Simultaneous display of up to four Lissajous figures and two strip charts enables you to efficiently monitor multiple data channels. The MIZ-28 internal hard drive adds 40 GB of data storage capacity to the MIZ-28 for data acquisition and tube list storage.

3.2 Initial Setup of the MIZ-28

Because the most common use of the MIZ-28 will be for examinations of heat exchanger tubing with a pair of bobbin coils, that is the type of setup described here. This ECT technique provides a rapid volumetric inspection of the tube wall, assuring 100% coverage. Many other probe designs can be accommodated if special inspection criteria need to be met. Up to eight (8) coil pairs can be used. 1. 2. Turn the instrument on. Connect the bobbin probes to the Coil ports on the back plane. Specific probe adaptors will be required (see system drawings in Appendix A). NOTE: It is possible to connect and/or disconnect the probe adaptors without turning the power off.

Config Type
The MIZ-28 supports both multiplexed and simultaneous injection testing. Multiplexed It is recommended you use the multiplexed mode for the following probes:
Bobbin (differential and absolute with external reference) MRPC Array probes (that do not require external multiplexing hardware) AC3 probes
The MIZ-28 supports four test frequencies in multiplexed mode. Simultaneous Injection In simultaneous injection mode, the number of available frequencies depends on the number of coils being used and the number of boards present in the unit. With the two analog board MIZ-28, you can run a two coil test at four frequencies, a four coil test at two frequencies, or an eight coil test at one frequency.

4.3 Adjusting the Sample Rate

You can adjust the sample rate from 1 up to a maximum of 16,000 samples per second. The maximum sample rate allowed depends on the number of test frequencies in use and the value of the test frequencies. To adjust the sample rate: 1. 2. 3. Press the SAMPLE RATE (F3) button to enable the function. Use the Control Knob to select the samples per second. In Simultaneous mode only, press the SELECT FILTER (F9) button to set the filter rate.
Figure 4-8
Sample Rate
4.3.1
Sample Rates in Multiplexed Mode
Four different filters 4K, 8K, 12K and 16K are available for use in the signal processing circuitry when operating in multiplexed mode. The 4K filter produces the best signal-to-noise, though at the cost of sample rate. The 16K filter allows faster sampling rates at the cost of signal-to-noise. Switching from the 4K filter to the 8K filter, you can expect to lose 3dB of signal-to-noise. Switching from 8K to 12K or 12K to 16K filter, you can expect to lose 1.5dB of signal-to-noise. The instrument automatically selects the best possible filter for the configured parameters and displays it next to the maximum sample readout. As you increase or decrease the sample rate, the filter setting will change.
4.3.2
Sample Rates in Simultaneous Mode
Four filters are available in simultaneous mode: 240Hz pass band, 400Hz pass band, 800Hz pass band and 1600Hz pass band. The trade-off when using these filters is signal-to-noise versus pull speed. Given the general rule of 10Hz of pass band per inch pulling speed, the 240Hz filter has about 24ips max pull speed and the 400Hz has about 40ips max pull speed. As you start decreasing test frequencies, the max pull speed value displayed to the right of the sample rate decreases. You should expect the 240Hz filter to have a 2.5dB gain in signal to noise.
Page 4-8
Configuration Setting Test Frequency Values
CONTENTS
4.4 Setting Test Frequency Values

The MIZ-28 supports up to four test frequencies from 5 Hz to 10 MHz. To eliminate cross talk between frequencies in simultaneous mode, a minimum frequency separation rule must be followed. If there is not enough separation between test frequencies, the frequencies in violation will turn red and the message, Not enough frequency separation will be displayed at the bottom of the screen.
A special filter design is implemented in the MIZ-28 to improve performance at low test frequencies. This is to improve RTF testing performance and signal noise. This filter will automatically be selected if the configuration allows for it. When the filter is applied, you will see an increase in the max pull speed (ips) value on the configuration screen and an LF (low frequency filter) will appear. This filter is only applicable in the SI mode. You can select up to four instrument test frequencies, depending on the test configuration. To select a test frequency: 1. 2. 3. Press the FREQUENCY SELECT(F4) button. Use the Control Knob to select the frequency you want to change. Press the ADJUST (F9) button and use the Control Knob to adjust the frequency value.

4.5 Selecting a Drive Setting

In multiplexed mode, each drive can be set from 1.0 to 20.0 volts. The drive is adjustable in 0.1 volt increments. In simultaneous mode, all four drives must add up to a maximum of 20 volts. If the sum of all drives is greater than 20 volts, the drives will turn red and the message Drive greater than 20Vpp will appear at the bottom of the screen. To select a drive setting: 1. 2. 3. 4. Press the DRIVE SELECT (F5) button to enable the function. Press the DRIVE (F8) button, and then use the Control Knob to select a drive.

Configuration Selecting a Channel
CONTENTS
4.6 Selecting a Channel

Each channel is described by a frequency and coil combination. You can turn a channel ON or OFF. Once a coil has been activated, a balance number is associated with it. The balance assignment is by coil. There are two separate balances available in the MIZ-28. In multiplexed mode, you can turn on two coils per timeslot per board for a total of four channels per timeslot. In simultaneous mode, the number of available coils depends on the number of test frequencies used. The two analog board MIZ-28 is capable of running a two coil test at four frequencies, a four coil test at two frequencies, or an eight coil test at one frequency. To select a channel: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Press the CHANNEL SELECT (F6) button. Press the COIL NUMBER (F8) button, and then use the Control Knob to select a coil number. Press the FIELD (F9) button to set the field. When the field is in one of the frequency lines, press the TOGGLE ON OFF (F10) button to toggle the channels ON or OFF. In simultaneous mode all channels for that coil will be turned ON or OFF. When the cursor is scrolled down to the balance number line, the F10 button label changes to BALANCE NUMBER. Press F10 and use the Control Knob to assign a balance number to the channels configured to that coil.

When tube end detection is enabled, every time the pusher starts running the data will be monitored for a signal that is greater than 80% of the set threshold limit (tube end signal). When a signal of great enough amplitude is detected, the instrument will turn off the pusher. The exception is when Standard Run is enabled. In this case, the instrument will not monitor for the threshold signal. Threshold Delay Press the THRESHOLD DELAY (F10) button, and then use the Control Knob to change the delay time in milliseconds (mS). The Threshold Delay is the amount of time that the instrument will wait to begin processing data after a pusher move has been initiated. This delay allows the probe to enter the tube without triggering a threshold event. Auto Retract Press the AUTO RETRACT (F11) button to enable or disable the function. When auto retract is enabled and a threshold event is encountered in the forward direction, recording will be started and the pusher will automatically start running in the reverse direction. The next threshold event will stop the pusher and stop recording. In addition, when auto retract is enabled, the pusher will start running in the reverse direction whenever the START RECORDING button is pressed. Any time the pusher is running and the STOP RECORDING button is pressed, the pusher will be stopped.

Filter Setup
Filter adjustments do not affect the analog probe signal. They are digital filters that optimize the presentation and aid in signal analysis. This allows you to experimentally change the filters in review mode without the need to reacquire the data. There are two types of filters available with the MIZ-28: a first order differential filter and a low pass filter. The differential filter is adjustable from 2 to 40 points; the low pass filter is adjustable from 0 Hz to about half of the current sample rate. When a channel has a filter associated with it, you will see the words DIFF, LP, or LP+DIFF on the end of the X-Y channel information.
Figure 6-19 Filter Setup Screen
Select Quadrant / Channel Press the SELECT QUADRANT channel (F8) button. When the word QUADRANT is capitalized, use the Control Knob to scroll through the four X-Y displays and strip charts. Press F8 again and CHANNEL will be capitalized. Now the Control Knob is enabled to select a channel for the highlighted X-Y or strip chart display. Filter Type Press the FILTER TYPE (F9) button and rotate the Control Knob to change the filter type associated with the selected channel. The options are off, low pass, differential, or a combination of low pass and differential. The low pass filter is a 41 coefficient digital filter with sharp cutoff characteristics. Its useful in suppressing a variety of unwanted signals including electrical interference. The first order differential filter displays the difference between the present data point and a previous data point. The closer the data points are together in time, the more highpass action the filter creates. The process is sometimes known as continuous balance, because the displayed signal has been compared to some recent value, rather than a fixed point. This filter is useful when the probe is scanned across dissimilar materials, as it tends to keep the signal on screen. The differential filter is sensitive to the direction of data change. Rising edges will show as positive signals, and falling edges will show as negative signals. For this reason, a single unfiltered pulse, which deflects upwards and then returns to null, will appear filtered as a positive and then a negative signal.
Page 6-21
High Frequency Cutoff Press the HIGH FREQ CUTOFF (F10) button and rotate the Control Knob to adjust the cutoff frequency of the low pass filter for the selected channel. The range is 0 Hz to about half of the current sample rate. Differential Delta Press the DIFF DELTA (F11) button to adjust the number of data points that are applied to the differential filter.

To specify the file format: 1. 2. Highlight FILE FORMAT. Press the ADJUST (F9) button and then use the Control Knob to select between EDDYNET or PC.
Figure 12-4 File Format
There are two file formats: PC and Eddynet. The PC format is used when Zetecs PC analysis software application is used to analyze the data. In the PC file format, the first three characters are the entry number, the next two characters are the ID identifier, the following three characters are the row (ROW) identifier, and the last three characters are the column (COL) identifier. For example: ###IDROW.COL. Summaries and messages are identified by an entry number followed by a message file extension. For example: ###.MSG. The Eddynet format is used when Zetecs Eddynet software application is used to analyze the data. When the Eddynet file format is selected, the Recording Dir selection is not displayed, as the recording selection is automatically selected when a new summary is written. When a new summary is written, it is assumed that you are starting a new cal group. The instrument looks at the recording directory, finds the highest cal group number, and creates a new directory for the next number. The format of the cal group name is the ID name, the ID identifier, the leg identifier (I or O), the word cal and cal group number. For example: ID##ICAL00001.
Page 12-4
Mass Storage Setup Recording Options
CONTENTS
The Eddynet file naming convention is a letter indicating the file type (D-data, M-message, or S-summary), the leg identifier (I or O), the first letter of the row name, the row identifier, the first letter of the column name, the column identifier, the letter I (Index), and the file index number.

Press the SET ALL (F11) button to turn on frequencies for that selected coil.
There are many possible options for the channel selections. The channel and coil number selections shown here are based on the number and position of the actual coils on the probe and the specific probe adaptor used. The MRPC probe used in this example has three different coils: a standard pancake coil (Coil 1), a coil that is wound such that it is sensitive to axially oriented flaws (Coil 2), and a third coil that is wound and mounted such that it is sensitive to circumferentially oriented flaws (Coil 5). The use of Coils 1, 2 and 5 on the Configuration Screen is based on the wiring of the probe adaptor used in this example.

14.2.3 MRPC Rate Calculations

This section contains the formulas to use to calculate the pull speed/RPM rate/Sample rate to achieve desired data points per inch in both the axial and circumferential modes. Axial Digitizing rate = (Tester Sample rate) Desired samples (30 data points per scan (Data points per scan) = Digitizing rate (Tester Sample rate) Rotations Per Second (Rotations Per Second) = RPM 60 = maximum pull speed (inches per second)
Example: 300 RPM = 5 RPS (Rotations Per Second) 60 400 Samples per Second = 80 data points per scan 5 RPS 400 Samples per Second = 0.1666 inches per second pull speed (30 axial) (80 dps) Circumferential Digitizing rate = (Tester Sample rate) Circumferential scan (in inches per second) Circumferential scan rate (in inches per second) = (Rotations Per Second) x (Circ. in inches) (Rotations Per Second) = RPM 60 (Circumference in inches) = (3.1416) x (dia.) (use I.D.) = (circumferential samples per inch))
0.75 OD tubing with 0.050 wall has an ID of 0.650 Example: 300 RPM = 5 RPS (Rotations Per Second) 60 0.650 ID x 3.1416 = 2.377 Circumference in inches 5 RPS x 2.377 = 11.88 Circumferential scan rate (in inches per second) 400 Samples per Second = 33.7 Circumferential Samples per inch 11.88

Toggle the RFT power switch to the On position. 30. Insert the probe into a tube in the interior of the tube bundle and watch the signal formation as the probe is removed (on-the-pull) from the tube bundle.
Nominal probe pull speed will typically be less than 12/second to maintain high quality signal responses. In most inspections this will be accomplished manually instead of using automated pusher/puller equipment.
31. Note the responses from the support plates, background noise (PV variations), and the tube end exit signal. 32. Repeat this process in several other tubes in the same area of the bundle, noting any variation in the expected or nominal responses to the signals of interest. 33. Adjust the frequency (as necessary) to correct the phase angle of the responses to these known signal sources to be as close as possible to those responses seen in the calibration sample. At the same time keep in mind that it is important to try to maintain a favorable S/N ratio.

15.3MIZ-28 Features
The MIZ-28 features are described below.
15.3.1 Frequency Plot

The instrument plots a graph of amplitude versus frequency from 100 Hz to 10 MHz. The applied drive is adjustable from 1 to 20 Vpp. The graphs frequency range, position, and scale are fully adjustable for ease of finding a probes best frequency response.
15.3.2 Drive Plot

The instrument plots a graph of amplitude versus drive. The applied frequency is adjustable from 100 Hz to 10 MHz. The graph plots the output of the differential amplifier at the front end of the circuit.
15.3.3 Memory
RAM The MIZ-28 instrument allocates 8 MB of RAM memory as a buffer for eddy current data. This buffer provides for data setup, review, and signal measurement. NVSRAM The instrument has NVSRAM for the current configuration and user variables, so that when power is cycled off and on the instrument the settings will not be lost. Hard Drive The MIZ-28 instrument has a 40 GB internal hard drive where configurations and data can be stored and recalled. Test plans can be stored and run from the internal hard drive. USB Mass Storage Configurations and data may also be stored on an external USB mass storage device connected to the instrument. Test plans can be imported to the internal hard drive from USB devices or stored and run from the USB device itself.
15.3.4 USB Devices

The MIZ-28 has two USB ports on the back panel. Supported devices include mass storage, printers, and keyboards. A USB hub can be attached to the instrument if more than two devices need to be connected at the same time. The MIZ-28 is always checking for new devices or the removal of currently attached devices. An icon appears in the top left of the screen when a device is connected.
TE NO
Only one USB device of each type may be connected to the MIZ-28 at a time.
15.3.5 Digital Recording

Three types of digital recording are available: USB mass storage, internal hard drive and shared network drives. When a network drive is mounted, an icon appears in the upper right corner of the display. Digital recording provides local data recall on the MIZ-28 and post analysis with Zetecs ET Analysis for Windows and Eddynet (UNIX).
15.3.6 Configuration Storage

Test configurations can be stored internally or to a USB mass storage device. The number of configurations that can be stored is limited only by the size of the device that they are stored to. Configurations can be copied from internal hard drive to USB or USB to internal hard drive using the configuration list menu. (See Section 5.0, Config List for more information.)
Page 15-5
15.3.7 Firmware Upgrades

Firmware upgrades are performed with a USB mass storage device. When a device is detected, the instrument automatically looks for new firmware on the root directory of the device. If firmware is detected and it is not the same version as the instrument is currently running, a pop-up message will appear asking if you would like to change the firmware.
15.3.8 Probe Drive Adjustment

Probe drive voltage is adjustable from 1 to 20 volts peak-to-peak. Source resistance is normally 100 ohms, which is switched to 50 ohms in the driver-pickup mode.
15.3.9 Filters
Three filter types are available: bandpass, 1st-order differential high-pass, and a combination differential bandpass filter. The bandpass filter is adjustable from 0 Hz to half the sample. The high end of the bandpass filter limit is relative to the sample rate setting. The differential high-pass filter is a continuous balance type that is particularly useful for keeping the signal on screen when scanning across dissimilar materials. The differential filter can be adjusted from 2 to 40 data points.
15.3.10 Sample Rate

The sample rate of the MIZ-28 instrument is operator-adjustable up to 16,000 samples/second at one frequency and up to 4,000 samples/second at four frequencies. A sample rate of 400 samples per second is generally acceptable as an adequate rate for probe speeds up to one foot per second.
