Hello

I am looking for some equipment that is _very_ sensitive and is capable of
measuring _very_ small changes in electrical fields and magnetic fields? The
device must be able to record the measurements real time.

What should I be looking for?

Thanks :eek:)

Well, if you don't know which field you want, then how are we supposed
to know? Try a ferrite rod with several thousand turns of fine wire on
it, and plug it into the mic input of an audio amp.

For a moment there, I thought you were looking for a mirror
galvanometer, but maybe not, since you don't seem to be interested
in currents as much as fields.

Small changes in large fields? Small changes in small fields? Both
electrical and magnetic fields, simultaneously, or would one or the
other be sufficient? What changes; intensity, polarization, direction,
or ...? Record to what precision? Record with what accuracy? Calibrated
or just "as built?" Is it sufficient if the measurements are time
stamped and spooled to permanent media or must they be streamed? Should
"real time" be synced to the UTC(USNO) master clock (how closely?) or is
a precision delta-time sufficient? What sample rate? What is your
budget? Does the device need to be UL/FCC/EC/etc. approved? One-off
benchtop for curiosity or to gather data for peer reviewed publication?

Numbers.

Rich, you need to make up a standard geek form for this kind of thing.
Like

Small changes in:
[ ] large fields
[ ] small fields
[ ] Both

[ ] magnetic field
[ ] electric field
[ ] simultaneous

Etc..

Don't forget to include your standard rates for customers. ;-)

I two wood like a sensitive peace of mesurment device that due these things.

Should have a frequency range from 0.01Hz to 453GHz +/- 0.004dB linearity.

Sensitivity for field strength needs to be at least 2.2femtoV/kM.

Hmmm... probably should inlude a discount for anybody that still
remembers (and uses) usenet. '-)
