7.3.2.1

Measuring DC Fluctuating Fields

DC EMF measurements should be conducted using a 3 axis 

fluxgate magnetometer

 placed

at  the  location  of  the  planned  magnetic  center.  The  fluxgate  sensors  must  be  capable  to
accurately  measure  fields  in  the  range  ±100  µT  (or  better  ±1  mT  in  a  laboratory  with
unshielded  magnets).  The  quality  of  the  fluxgate  sensors  and  acquisition  system  should
result  in  accuracy  better  than  5  nT.  The  sensor  signals  are  recorded  with  an  analog  data
acquisition system at a sampling rate of 2’500 S/s or more. The data is processed (digital LP
-filter  with  fc  =  1.3  Hz)  and  subsampled  to  2  S/s  so  that  the  AC  (>  1  Hz)  components  are
efficiently suppressed. Measurements should be performed during actions in the environment
causing field changes. Typically this results in a measurement during a full working day (9 to
17)  and  performing  all  actions  causing  DC  interferences  (such  as  moving  a  forklift  or
operating an elevator). In addition, an over-night measurement is recommended to separate
singularities from constantly present interferences.

The measurement of DC and AC EMF interference can be performed with the same
hardware (fluxgates). The recorded waveform is processed in different ways.

7.3.2.2

Guidelines for DC Interference

When determining the effect of fluctuating magnetic fields, two parameters are important: the
size of the fluctuation and the rate of change, as follows:

• In a moving window of 1000 seconds the difference of the maximum and minimum values

from the filtered and sub-sampled data set should not exceed:

B

 = 

B

max

-

B

min

 < 1400 nT (peak to peak) for the frequency range 0…1 Hz.

Note this guideline is shown with a red line in the figure 

Figure 7.10 [

}

 55]

 (the

threshold of 700 nT represents 0 to peak).

• The absolute value of the derivative should not exceed:

Note this guideline is shown with a green line in the figure 

Figure 7.10 [

}

 55]

.

The distance to subways, trams and DC feeder lines should be at least 100 m, otherwise you
should contact your local Bruker office for further clarification.

7.3.2.3

Reducing DC Interference

Two Bruker technologies help to suppress the DC field perturbations:

• Modern magnets with EDS

TM

 technology (External Disturbance Suppression) efficiently

suppress interferences by a factor ~25-1000, depending on the model and disturbance
frequency.

• The advanced digital lock (if present) further suppresses the field fluctuations at the

sample. Depending on various parameters, its efficiency varies considerably. Lock hold
(for example during gradient pulses) and a strong external field change may lead to
difficulties.
