Portable Proton Magnetometer M o d e l G-856AX

0.1 nT resolution and sensitivity Designed for ease of use by nonskilled personnel Digital memory - 12,500 readings Manual data recall, or down load to a PC Versatile, total field, gradiometer or base station use Rugged weatherproof construction.
The G-856 provides a reliable, low cost solution for a variety of magnetic search and mapping applications. Single key stroke operation means the G-856AX can be operated by non-technical field personnel or used in teaching environments. The G-856AX uses the established proton precession method, allowing accurate measurements to be made with virtually no dependence upon variables such as sensor orientation, temperature, or location. The unit provides a repeatable absolute total field magnetic reading, traceable to the National Bureau of Standards, unlike other magnetic field measurement processes which measure only a single component of the field. Applications: The G-865AX is ideal for mapping geological structures, for mineral exploration, magnetic search for industrial, environmental or archaeological targets. The optional gradiometer attachment gives greater resolution and noise immunity for conducting searches in industrial or high cultural noise environments. Simple operation, large digital data storage capability, and the inclusion of MagMap2000 data transfer and editing software provides a system well suited for both teaching and survey applications. The automated cycling option with long sensor cable and external power connection allows use of the G-856AX as a Basestation unit for the measurement of diurnal changes in the earths magnetic field. Diurnal correction data is then downloaded by MagMap2000 and can be applied to other 856, 858 or 822/823 Airborne data.

Superior Data Editing Software. MagMap2000 allows rapid download of the data from the G-856AX to a PC. Data can be diurnally corrected, profile lines and positions displayed and edited, noisy readings filtered and QC plots of profiles, 2D contour and 3D surface plots made. Data can be exported to Surfer, Geosoft or MagPick (free from Geometrics) for more sophisticated final maps and analysis. The software requires Windows 98, NT or XP operating system.
