The theory of operation of a Langmuir probe in a magnetic field is incomplete. To overcome this limitation a neural network software model is developed for the automated real-time analysis of probe current-voltage characteristics taken in magnetized plasmas. The results of the network analysis are calibrated against energy analyzers and tested with a large set of experimental data.
