Using our
Option 006, which can be retrofitted as an upgrade at any time,
you can also measure
STATIC
magnetic fields, like the
geomagnetic field
(geo-
logical dislocation) or the strength of
magnets
(for example in loudspeakers). To
do this, just press key
6
and select the
MSta
sensor (possible choices are X-
MSta, Y-MSta and Z-MSta).
If you have an NF-3020 or better, you can also select the external input (SMA
socket), which allows you to connect arbitrary external sensors like large, high-
ly sensitive coils, testing probes, or other special antennas. You could also sim-
ply measure a voltage. This input provides you with a whole range of new pos-
sible applications and converts SPECTRAN into a versatile all-rounder. For
using the external input, press the
key 6
and choose
Analog
.
5.2 Choosing the mode of operation [Enter key]:
All SPECTRAN models offer
3 different MODES OF OPERATION:
- SPECTRUM analysis
(graphical display of signal levels and frequencies)
- EXPOSURE LIMIT display
(percentage of a particular exposure limit)
- AUDIO output
(makes modulated signals audible)
You can switch between the different modes of operation at any time by
using the Enter key.
5.3 Mode
Spectrum analysis
:
(The DISPLAY MODE status field displays “SPECTRUM”)
Press the
Enter key
until the
display mode status field
reads “
SPECTRUM
”. SPECTRAN will now provide a rea-
dout similar to the one shown in the picture on the left.
Should the
large
main display
show
“0000“
, then
no
signal is found. In this case, you probably have to mea-
sure closer to the signal source. During every measure-
ment, a
small dot
will constantly move from the left to the
right edge of the upper part of the
graphics display
.
Only when this point reaches the right edge, the mea-
surement is completed and all readout values are
updated, very often it will be so fast that you won’t
even notice.
The
main display
shows the current field strength, in our example it is 45,15µT.
