General Description

The MicroTesla Analog Sensor product line, Model No. 220000 is an analog output directional sensor utilizing MicroTesla’s proprietary magnetometer technology. The high accuracy magnetometer, accelerometers and electronics are mounted on a single rigid chassis.

Magnetometer

The three-axis magnetometer used in the sensor is a MicroTesla proprietary flux gate design. The magnetometer design uses proprietary sampling and filtering methods which make it particularly suitable for oilfield operations. Over the specified operating range, the magnetometer outputs are linear and repeatable.

Accelerometer

Three single-axis accelerometers are used in the design. These ruggedized quartz flexure servo devices are used successfully in Measurement-While-Drilling applications.

Calibration

MicroTesla has the capability to calibrate the complete sensor package and will provide the K-factor table in accordance with a customer specified format. The MicroTesla Standard format is either floating point or scaled integer.
