Many product specifications are designed to sell rather than inform, often omitting key details like long-term accuracy, environmental conditions, or statistical confidence. To avoid misleading claims, critically compare specs across manufacturers and look for transparency in how performance is measured and reported.

A summary of many units used in magnetic measurements as well as a white paper covering the 5 most common errors in magnetic measurements.

A case study examines how our 2Dex™ Hall sensor, in combination with our F71 teslameter, enabled the Quantum Sensors Group at Cambridge University to verify their experimental 3-axis field generator setup — without experiencing noticeable error due to PHE.

In many cases, a DIY solution that pairs a high-speed teslameter and a Hall probe with a motorized platform is better than an expensive off-the-shelf field mapper.
