More magnetometers, for precisionPrecision is how closely multiple measurements will be clustered. Also called reproducibility or repeatability. In everyday speech, often confused with... More measurements of inhomogeneous or rapidly varying fields. Finally, Metrolab’s Hall magnetometers provide simultaneous readings of all three components of the magnetic field, thus eliminating errors due to incorrect angular positioning.
