The Magnetic Field attribute explains how a meter measures low-frequency magnetic fields, which often come from power lines, appliances, or household wiring. Attributes in this group include the measurement range, the sensor type, and the resolution of the instrument.
Measurement range shows the span of magnetic fields that can be detected, from tiny fractions of a milliGauss up to thousands of milliGauss. Wide ranges allow users to assess both everyday background exposure and strong localized fields.
Sensor type indicates whether the meter uses a single-axis sensor (measuring one direction at a time) or a 3-axis sensor (capturing X, Y, and Z simultaneously for quicker, more complete results).
Resolution highlights the smallest changes the meter can display — often down to fractions of a nanoTesla — which is important for sensitive surveys and identifying subtle variations.
Together, these details give a clear picture of how capable a meter is for household checks, professional consulting, or detailed investigations into magnetic field exposure.
