Description

The G-862RBS Base Station Magnetometer combines a rugged and reliable cesium sensor with a Tallysman GPS and Dog Catcher data logger making it a high-performance, complete-package magnetometer system that is perfect for any survey. The magnetometer and GPS time values are synchronized to within 1ms and the Cesium vapor technology used in the G-862RBS is stable, not requiring adjustment or periodic factory recalibration. The default configuration of the G-862RBS provides 0.02 nT P-P performance (0.004 nT/ sqrtHz rms) at 10 samples per second, where each measurement is time-tagged by the GPS data as it arrives from the Tallysman receiver. These time-stamped magnetic field measurements are presented as a serial data stream in ASCII format and logged by the Dog Catcher serial data logger. Because the base station’s measurements are time stamped and GPS-synchronized, they are easily and automatically combined with a similarly configured magnetometer system – whether it is stationary or mobile. The precise, synchronous records obtained from a mobile magnetic survey system and the stationary G-862RBS will permit the recognition and removal of both the diurnal variation of the earth’s field as well as higher frequency magnetic signals due to spherics.
