A new method is developed to trace the tip of spiral waves in an excitable medium. The information of a spiraltip movement is obtained from only six probes. This method can trace the tip of a simple rotating spiral as wellas a complex spiral tip movement. More importantly, it can be used to distinguish between a spiral and a targetwave. The method is checked with data by experiments and numerical simulations, and found to be successful.
