In this abstract a semi-automated verification and validation protocol for a dB/dt system are presented. A dB/dt coil was simulated, fabricated, and mapped with both a hall probe and dB/dt probe using a positioning robot. All measured values, both DC and dB/dt, matched the expected values over the exposure volume. In addition, dB/dt measurements in air and in saline verify the consistency of the magnetic field in a typical device testing media.
