HELMHOLTZ COIL INSTALLATION AND CALIBRATION
Ensure the sensor is in Position 0 (see
). Select the Y axis and record the X and Z
errors due to Y (Xy, Zy). Rotate the sensor
along the Y axis to end up in position 2 (see
. The errors obtained will be, Xy’
and Zy’. The target value for Xy and Zy will be
calculated as (Xy’
-
Xy)/2 and (Zy’
-Zy)/2. Adjust
the potentiometers X->Y and Z->Y (
).
