A device for measuring anode tube current or filament current in an X-ray tube, comprising a coil of wire wrapped around an insulating tube to generate a solenoidal magnetic field, one or more pieces of magnetic material and insulating material located within the tube (which magnetic elements may have their electrical potential stabilized by a resistive voltage divider), and a Hall Effect current sensor (HECS) located at the far end of the tube and insulated from the magnetic material. The output of the Hall Effects sensor is connected to an amplifier circuit, and a secondary coil of wire is used to capture the high frequency component of the magnetic signal. The secondary coil is connected to a current amplifier circuit which is followed by a high pass filter to only provide components above the cross over frequency of the hall sensor. The two signals are combined with an amplifier to provide a broad band signal that may be viewed by a current amplifier.

324 20R

An X-ray tube test system comprising signal processing circuitry including means for converting an analog signal representative of anode current into a train of pulses having an instantaneous frequency proportional to corresponding instantaneous amplitude values of the analog signal, means for counting the pulses in the train during an exposure time interval to obtain an integrated milliampere-second (MAS) value, means for summing a train of pulses having a uniform frequency during an interval of time equivalent to the exposure time interval to obtain an integral value for the exposure time, means for optionally dividing the MAS value by the exposure time value to obtain an average anode current (MA) value during the exposure time interval, and means for displaying numerical equivalents of the values thus obtained.
