Automatic Mode, the three-digit number appearing when
TIME
is depressed is the Julian
day of the year.
In Survey Mode both the current line number setting and the Julian day are recorded for
each reading taken, although both are not available for viewing on the displays.
Nevertheless, the G-856AX data file contains both of these items and the measurement
value. That is, the line number, the time and Julian day, the field reading, and the station
number are all retained in the console memory.
Be sure you are not in Automatic Mode when setting the line number.
To change the line number press:
TIME, SHIFT, ‘n’,’n’,’n’,
ENTER
The display will go blank and the new line number (nnn) will be applied to the magnetic
field reads that are subsequently stored. Press
TIME
to verify that the desired line
number is currently in use
T
he value line number will be shown in the

4 – Manual Tuning of the Magnetometer
The magnetometer needs to be tuned in order to provide its amplifier circuits with the
greatest signal strength and thereby provide the best sensitivity. The tuning procedure is a
matter of matching the console’s internal tuning frequency to the actual proton-
precession frequency corresponding to the local magnetic field strength.
Usually, fairly accurate readings can be obtained if the magnetometer is tuned to be
within 3,000 nT of the local magnetic field strength. The approximate magnetic field in
your survey area can be obtained by examining the world magnetic map provided in
Figure 20 and in the Appendix of this document. This world map is overlain with
contour lines showing the regional variation of magnetic field strength with position.
Simply find your position on the map and read the field strength on the nearest contour
line.
At the beginning of a new survey we recommend that you check the magnetometer’s
tuning and, if necessary, adjust it to obtain maximum signal strength. Check the
magnetometer’s tuning by pressing and releasing the
