The search mode is obtained (after a pressing the “SETUP” and “ON” keys
simultaneously) by selecting configuration
4-Search Magnetomete
r
from the ENVI Applications menu.
This mode does not store any data (that you can dump) in memory, but you can
see a graphical representation of up to the last 178 readings. This mode is useful
for rapid reconnaissance or location of magnetic objects in small areas where no
permanent record of the data is required.
There are only two parameters that need to be set for this mode— the duration
of the reading and the tuning (ambient) field value.
