Electric and Magnetic Field Measurement
EHP-50C Electric Field and Magnetic Flux Density Measurement
The EHP-50C’s small cubic housing (approx. 4 in.) accom-
modates everything: three magnetic loops and three plate
capacitors orthogonally positioned for sensing fields from any
direction. Encased inside the housing is also an A to D con-
verter followed by a powerful DSP (Digital Signal Processor)
that performs signal analysis; and the CPU module that con-
trols all the functions; an EEPROM, that stores the calibration
data; an optical interface to allow easy connection to external
displays via optical fiber link; a high capacity data logger for
stand alone continuous acquisition; the control panel with
the connections and the ON/OFF switch.
The innovative sensor design, along with the supplied soft-
ware allows the user to setup measurement parameters
beforehand on a PC. During or after a measurement, the soft-
ware allows displaying, recording and analyzing their values
on a PC.
OPERATION WITH POCKET PC
To further improve the flexibility and the portability of the
solution provided, the EHP-50C also has dedicated software
running on specifically selected Pocket PC’s (HP iPAQ Model
hx2190 or HP equivalent). Data is received from the EHP-50C
through the optical cable and can be easily displayed, ana-
lyzed and stored.
The Pocket PC software features digital and analogue reading,
span, range and E or
β settings, Marker Peak and Delta Peak. It
is delivered on a standard 32 MB Secure Digital memory card
that can also be used to save the spectra measurements as
well as the corresponding numeric values.
STAND-ALONE CONTINUOUS ACQUISITION WITH
INTERNAL DATA LOGGER FOR 24 HOURS
If a long monitoring campaign is a must – e.g. when moni-
toring magnetic fields that might cause interference with
implanted medical devices or next to high, medium and low
voltage transformers; measuring close to power lines or to
machinery, air conditioning systems, large home appliances,
etc. the EHP-50C can be used in stand-alone mode without
needing a PC, or a Pocket PC connected to it. Once the mea-
surement parameters have been programmed by means of
the PC software (supplied), the EHP-50C analyzer can start its
acquisition by storing the data over 24 hours in stand-alone
mode with a sampling rate of 30 or 60 seconds. After 24 hours
the EHP-50C will stop automatically. The data can then be
downloaded to the PC. The PC software allows the user to
select the measurement field (electric or magnetic), the full
scale, the mode (Highest or Wideband), the frequency span
and the sampling interval (one minute or 30 seconds).
