Generate measurement data
Necessary equipment for the performance of an EIT measurement:
- Sciospec EIT system, e.g. the 16 channel EIT system (EIT16). This includes:
- EIT16 device
- Sciospec software
- 16 measurement cables (16 standard Sciospec MCX-to-banana-plug cables and 16 alligator clips)
- power supply
- USB cable
- Sciospec standard phantom tank
- PC
- water
- object, e.g. hollow glass cylinder (insulting object)
The Sciospec standard EIT phantom tank has a diameter of 20 cm, height of 15 cm and 16 stainless steel electrodes arranged on one level around the tank. The phantom were filled with 2.5 l tap water. Note: Water with a precise salt content can be obtained by using deionised water and adding the desired amount of NaCl or other salts. Every electrode was connected in counter-clockwise to the Sciospec EIT16 device using a standard Sciospec MCX-to-banana-plug cable set, as shown in Figure 1.
