7.1 Sensor
(choose sensor and axis)
[Key 6]
Use
Sensor
to select the sensor or input which you want to use. By choosing
this you select at the same time which kind of field you want to measure
(magnetic field, static magnetic field, electric field).
Starting with the NF-3020, you can also select an external input (SMA connec-
tor). Here you can attach arbitrary external sensors, like large, highly-sensitive
coils, E-field and H-field probes or other specialized antennas. This connector
opens lots of possibilities and applications and converts SPECTRAN to a multi-
talent measurement device.
At the same time, you can select the desired measurement axis/plane (XY,
YZ, ZX) in the Sensor menu when doing 2D measurements.
Available choices are:
“Mag”
= internal 3D air-core coil (for magnetic alternating fields)
XY-Mag
(
X
axis resp.
X & Y
axes when doing a
2D
measurement)
YZ-Mag
(
Y
axis resp.
Y & Z
axes when doing a
2D
measurement)
ZX-Mag
(
Z
axis resp.
Z & X
axes when doing a
2D
measurement)
“MSta”
= internal static magnetic field sensor,
only available with Option 006!
Measurement of static magnetic fields (
geomagnetic field, magnets)
X-MSta
(
X
axis resp.
X & Y
axes when doing a
2D
measurement)
Y-MSta
(
Y
axis resp.
Y & Z
axes when doing a
2D
measurement)
Z-MSta
(
Z
axis resp.
Z & X
axes when doing a
2D
measurement)
E-Feld
= Internal 1D E-Sensor (measurement of alternating electric fields)
Analog
= SMA input,
only applicable to NF-3020 or higher
(highly sensitive
measurement of an external alternating field up to 0,2V max)
Note:
At magnetic fields you can change the dimension (1D, 2D, 3D) at any time
with hotkey 7.
