10.2 Excitation Frequency
The output signal for each axis will also contain breakthrough, which is a residual signal
associated with the excitation frequency. (See the product brochure for frequency and level of
breakthrough.) All Bartington Instruments power supply and signal conditioning units have a filter
to remove the breakthrough.
Note:
When using a non-Bartington Instruments power supply, it will be necessary to provide
a filter to remove the breakthrough. Not doing so will lead to a higher noise level than that
specified. See application note ‘AN0042: Connecting your own Power Supply to a Bartington
Magnetic Field Sensor’ from Bartington Instruments for further information.
