Field unit

:  

Unit of measurement of the field value shown on the display. This unit

applies to the total field, the field on each axis and the maximum, minimum and average
values.

Field on  each axis

:  

The field measured on each axis for isotropic three-axis probes.

Updated once per second.

Maximum and minimum values

:  

Maximum and minimum values measured for the

field. These values are only updated (once per second) when data are entered in the
memory.

Average value

Average value of the field. This value is only updated when logging is

activated and updated depending on the type of averaging and interval chosen.

Type of average

Type of interval and average selected.
