STATION/DAY
Initially, the
Field/Time
displays ‘SIG’ indicating the signal strength in the
STATION/DAY
display. Signal strength is reported as a number ranging from 0.0 to a
maximum of 9.9. The ‘tunE’ display that succeeds the signal strength display shows the
current tuning in terms of magnetic field intensity with units of 100 nT. For example, if
the display shows ‘
560
’then 56,000 nT tuning is indicated.
Figure 20. Magnetic Field Intensity Variation, (nT)
The objective in tuning the magnetometer is to adjust the magnetometer’s tuning (as
indicated under ‘
tunE
’) to obtain a reasonable signal strength (as indicated under ‘SIG’)
Approximate tuning will be adequate for most surveys but the G-856AX does allow you
to tune the magnetometer very precisely - the magnetometer may be tuned to 3-digit
resolution from 256 possible tune values ranging from 20,000 and 90,000 nT.
When attempting to tune the magnetometer you should be outdoors, away from power
lines and large metal objects. Use the following procedure to tune the magnetometer:
1 Use the world magnetic map (Figure 20) to determine the approximate field
strength for your location.
