Magnetic field strength versus signal to noise ratio.
The Cesium magnetometer is so fast and has such a large dynamic range that it can be considered to be either “on” or “off”. What this means is that if the sensor active zone is in the earth field vector (approximately 70 degrees in each “quadrant” of 90 deg ...
What is the unit of the 'Signal' ?
The signal strength is in arbitrary units, it is not in volts or some other unit. We use signal level to compare one system to another, to make sure it is operating correctly and getting good data.
What is detection range of the magnetometer?
This is a very common questions and our best answer is to have you read the Applications Manual for Portable Magnetometers which is available from our website. To give an idea, the rule of thumb is that 1 ton of steel will give 1nT at 100 ft. The distortion caused by the steel in the earthR ...
