Magnetic Field Strength (P-17)
Technical background
The philosophy behind NeuLog’s plug and play
technology is based on each sensor’s ability to store its
own data due to an internal flash memory chip and
micro-controller in each plastic NeuLog body. This
technology allows the sensor to collect and then store
the digital data in the correct scientific units (for
example: oC, oF, Lux, %, ppm).
The sensor is pre-calibrated at the factory. The built-in
software in the logger can be upgraded for free at any
time using the provided firmware update.
The magnetic field sensor utilizes the Hall Effect to
generate a voltage relative to the magnetic field. The
Hall Effect is a natural phenomenon where a magnetic
field exerts a force on charge carriers if an electrical
current flows through the magnetic field. The charge
differential is measured and can easily be converted into
the magnetic field strength because of the direct
relationship.
The sensor itself is located behind the hole in front of the
sensor's box.
