Magnetometer NARDA

PDA-based magnetometer
A new magnetometer was presented by Narda Safety Test Solutions at Arbeitsschutz aktuell 2008. The THM1176-PDA device, which consists of a high-performance PDA and a precision, non-directional probe connected via USB, can be used as a stand-alone hand-held unit or in conjunction with a PC. It measures magnetic fields having flux densities of up to 20 Tesla in the frequency range from 0 Hz to 1 kHz.
The THM1176-PDA can be used anywhere where high magnetic field strengths need to be measured and monitored: on scientific and medical equipment, such as magnetic resonance tomographs; in industry on equipment for smelting metals, or on transformer stations and large-scale electric motor drives, such as railroad locomotives.
The technical advantages of the new magnetometer are:
• Non-directional measurement thanks to isotropic, 3-axis Hall-effect probe, so the result is independent of the probe direction relative to the field
• very small sensor area gives pinpoint accuracy when measuring strong, non-homogeneous fields
• Simple operation using the PDA touch screen or MS-Windows PC software (everything is included in the package)
THM1176-PDA is a product of the Swiss company METROLAB Instruments SA, the leading supplier of precision Tesla-meters for high magnetic field strengths. It extends the program of test equipment for magnetic fields offered by Narda Safety Test Solutions to cover the low frequency range right down to DC fields.
