5.2 Using the Instantaneous Measurement ( ) ) B) Mode
Slide the AC-DC (Magnetic Field Selection) switch to
select the type of magnetic field to be measured. Set the
STBY— ) B— I B Switch to ) B. The Instantaneous and
Peak Hold memory values are cleared, displaying "0.00"
for both PEAK and ) B. Measurement starts after three
seconds.
When a permanent magnet is placed close to the sensor,
the measured value will vary depending on which axis is
nearest to the magnet. This is normal.
Peak Hold
The model HI n 3550 continuously displays the maximum
instantaneous value measured since the instrument was
last set to the ) B mode. This peak value is displayed on
the upper line of the display panel.
To clear the peak hold value:
1) change to any other mode
2) change the magnetic field selection (AC or DC).
Peak Hold Display Range
The HI n 3550 is capable of displaying a maximum peak
hold value of 3546.37 mT; the maximum instantaneous
