Portable GaussMeter Recorder: Big Enough for EMF Field Analysis?

  • Thread starter algis.j
  • Start date
In summary, the project calls for a portable recorder GaussMeter that is not necessarily light, but not heavier or bigger than a laptop. The realtime reading can be displayed using any method, with a sampling rate of 1/second, which can be too fast. The device should be able to write data to any media that can be read on a PC at the same sampling rate. The Gaussmeter needs to have a field range of mG to few tenths of Gauss. The idea is to create a wearable EMF recorder for further analysis and statistics, which can be carried all day by different people to determine who faces the most exposures and where. Cost-effectiveness is also important to allow for more samples to be taken for better data sampling

How big/tough a portable recorder GaussMeter project would be?

It does not need to be light (tho not heavier/bigger than a laptop?) and it does not need to be nice looking. The realtime reading can be anything (Galva/LED/...) and sampling rate 1/second is fast enough (even too fast; as 1/5sec would be accurate IMO). It shall be able to write data to any media that can then be read on a PC (MagCard/usb stick-link/... whatever) at same sampling rate. Field range of Gaussmeter need to read in the mG to few tenths of Gauss.

Idea is to have a wearable EMF recorder for further analysis/statistic. Carried all day by different people would help define who face the most exposures and where they are. Cheap would be good too as it would be possible to make more samples to have better sampling of data.

Thanks for your time.

Thanks; I know those, but wanted to have a more 'adapted' system; hence designed to the needs. I already have some products like this and they are useful.
 

1. What is a Portable GaussMeter Recorder and how does it work?

A Portable GaussMeter Recorder is a handheld device used to measure and record electromagnetic field (EMF) levels in a given area. It uses a sensor to detect the strength of the magnetic field and displays the reading on a digital screen. The recorder can also store the data for later analysis.

2. What is the size and portability of the Portable GaussMeter Recorder?

The Portable GaussMeter Recorder is designed to be compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry around and use in different locations. It is typically small enough to fit in a pocket or bag, and can be easily transported for on-site measurements.

3. What type of EMF fields can the Portable GaussMeter Recorder measure?

The Portable GaussMeter Recorder is designed to measure both AC and DC magnetic fields. This includes fields from power lines, appliances, electronic devices, and other sources.

4. How accurate is the Portable GaussMeter Recorder in its measurements?

The accuracy of the Portable GaussMeter Recorder depends on various factors such as the sensitivity of the sensor, the distance from the source of the EMF field, and the calibration of the device. However, most recorders have a high level of accuracy and precision in their readings.

5. What are the potential applications of the Portable GaussMeter Recorder?

The Portable GaussMeter Recorder can be used for a variety of applications, such as measuring EMF levels in homes, offices, and industrial settings. It can also be used for research and analysis of EMF fields in different environments, as well as for conducting safety assessments and compliance testing.
