High Performance Magnetometers
Geometrics G-822A/G-823A Caesium Vapour Magnetometers.
The G-822A is designed for all airborne or mobile applications where the unique combination of high sensitivity and very rapid sampling of the earths magnetic field are required. Applications include mapping geologic structure for mining, oils and gas exploration and the detection and delineation of target bodies in environmental and engineering surveys. The G-823A variant includes a CM221 counter assembly which digitises the larmor and outputs a serial data string.
Features Include
- Automatic hemisphere switching
- Highly Versatile, larmor output, or RS232 in the G-823A variant
- High Sensitivity 0.0005nT/root Hz RMS with the G-822A super-counter
- Digital output, (G-823A only) can be logged with MagLog™ software
- High bandwidth, can track changes of 1000's nT over periods as small as 0.1 sec
