box for the RS422 data outputs. The multiplexing box will combine and transmit the received
RS422 data from each gradiometer on a single Ethernet connection to an external laptop or

connector allows an external battery to be connected to the unit, if the
internal batteries become exhausted. This feature is currently under development.
