‘Down sensor’ connector from the value of the magnetic field of the sensor connected to 
the ‘Up sensor’ connector. 

 If the position on a grid should be used, the position of the first measurement 

must be set, which means setting the items ‘Line’, ‘Pos’, and ‘Step’ in the POSITION item 
of the main menu. This is described in detail in chapter 5.7. The measurement is started 
by pressing [ENTER]. After about 2 seconds, the measured value of the magnetic field 
with the statistical error is displayed, as well as the position of the measurement point 
‘Line’ and ‘Pos’ and other information.

The value Amp means the signal intensity, and the value D expresses a time 

constant of the decay of the precession signal. The question at the bottom indicates the 
option to store the reading in the data memory.  

By pressing [ENTER], the reading is stored in the data memory, and the next 

position is displayed. By pressing [ESC], the measured data is erased, and the current 
position is displayed.

Measuring In Walk Mode 

The WALK measure mode is selected in the MEASURE menu. In this mode, the 

instrument is prepared to measure int the single and or gradient 

of the Earth’s magnetic 

field based on sensor configuration. The sensor configuration can be selected in the 
setup menu item MODE see chapter 5.4. 

In the WALK measure mode, the measurements are continually repeated and 

saved to memory. The repetition interval is selectable int setup menu item WALK MODE. 
The intervals are 0.5s, 1s, and 1.5s see chapter  

6.6. 

Measuring In Auto Mode 

The AUTO measure mode is selected in the MEASURE menu. In this mode, the 

instrument is prepared to serve as a base station and measure diurnal variations. When 
the 

measurement is started, two items are displayed: ‘Start time’ sets the time of the first 

measurement of the base station.  

‘Interval’ sets the time interval between measurements. 

The results of the measurement in the AUTO mode are stored automatically in the 

data memory. 

The measurement in the AUTO mode is terminated by switching the instrument 

off.
