The V.C.G. methods must handle the E.K.G. information through weighing systems, because of the volume and the eccentric location of the heart in the chest, of the inhomogeneity of the surrounding tissues and of the irregular shape of the body surface. Most of these weighing systems use compensating networks. On the other hand, Rijlant simulates an homogeneous medium where the cardiac currents spread and where remote observation would eliminate much of the distorsions. In order to understand how such a simulated medium operates, we drive it by means of sinusoidal waves and we observe how the amplitude and the phase of the signals change when we switch on the different leads. Each value recorded at a same level in the network may be considered as the sum of a true proximity effect added to an other component depending upon the lead orientation. The latter is referred to a mixed result of the driving waves that we call "the modulus effect". From the injection level to the other levels, the proximity effect rapidly vanishes while the modulus effect does not disappear until grounded level is reached. The decrease of the modulus effect either to zero (grounded level) or to a finite value (free end of the network) is not expressed as a formula because Rijlant's network does not simulate an euclidian space. We conclude that, at least as the proximity effect is concerned, the instrument performs what it is expected to do.
