SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on measuring the frequency of magnetic fields using handheld meters and alternative methods. Handheld meters typically measure frequencies in the megahertz (MHz) range, which raises questions about their effectiveness for lower frequencies such as 1 Hz or 10 Hz. Participants suggest using an oscilloscope or frequency counter in conjunction with an inductor as a pickup probe to accurately measure lower frequency magnetic fields.
