G-857 Magnetometer

Description

The G-857 provides a reliable, low-cost solution for a variety of magnetic search and mapping applications. Single keystroke operation means the G-857 can be operated by non-technical field personnel and used in teaching environments. Utilizing the well-established proton precession method, the system allows for accurate measurements to be made with virtually no dependence upon variables such as sensor orientation, temperature or location.

The automated cycling option with long sensor cable and external power connection allows the surveyor to use G-857 as a base station instrument for measuring the diurnal changes in the Earth’s magnetic field. Optional GPS allows data to be stamped with time and Latitude/Longitude positions. Quickly and easily upload GPX waypoint survey routes to the GPS for in-field navigation using MagMap software. If you’re looking for a basic low-cost magnetometer with base station configurations, the G-857 Proton Magnetometer is the instrument of choice.
