The last number in the score, Mn.n, describes the magnitude of local field. Larger numbers denote
strong local fields. Small local fields are preferable, since less correction will be necessary, and
they utilize less of the magnetometers’ dynamic range. A magnitude score greater than 30
indicates strong magnetic fields at the TCM2.5/2.6 location; you should consider alternative
mounting locations. Any score less than 10 is very good.
Note:
The calibration score values mostly provide a qualitative estimation. For example, a
good score would be H9V9Mn.n. A poor score as anything less than H9V9Mn.n. A poor V
score generally indicates that you need to tilt more during the calibration. A poor H score
indicates you did not turn two full circles or that you turned too quickly.
6. If the calibration is not sufficient then click on the
<Start>
button and begin the calibration again.
Clear:
This button will clear the user calibration in the unit. Once selected, the unit will revert back to its
factory calibration.
