Data Format (Timeline Export) 

The software allows to save the measurement data as Excel (.xlsx) and CSV. The organization and 
information content of the two files is the same for both file formats. 

5.7.1

 

Date and Time 

Contains the date and time at which the corresponding sample was taken. 

5.7.2

 

Sequence Number 

Each measurement is labeled with a sequence number. Every time ExpoM - ELF is switched on the 
sequence number starts at 1. If not interrupted by a power cycle, the sequence number counts up 
to 65535 after which it restarts at 1. 

5.7.3

 

Field Strength 

The measured field strength of the frequency bands selected in the timeline. All field values are 
expressed in Microtesla (µT). 

5.7.4

 

DC Components 

Average value of the recorded field strength, subdivided into its X, Y, and Z components. If no DC 
source (permanent magnet) is present, this value represents the strength of the geomagnetic field. 

5.7.5

 

Band 

Measurement band of ExpoM - ELF with which the sample was taken (see 6.2).
