MagStation Magnetometer Base Station
The MagStation is Geometrics’ latest and most advanced magnetometer base station, designed for high-sensitivity, stationary monitoring of the Earth’s total magnetic field. Built around our proven MFAM technology, the MagStation delivers precise, reliable magnetic data for a wide range of geophysical and scientific applications.
MagStation
This self-contained system includes an integrated GPS, onboard data storage, and a built-in wireless access point—offering a streamlined user experience. To enhance the user experience even further, the MagStation operates seamlessly with MagNav, our intuitive user interface software. MagNav is compatible with most standard Android devices and enables real-time magnetic field visualization.
Designed to integrate effortlessly with other Geometrics magnetometers, the MagStation ensures synchronized data collection across systems. Its precise, time-aligned recordings— accurate to within 1 ms—allow for effective correction of both diurnal magnetic variations and higher-frequency disturbances due to spherics.
The MagStation’s sensor is exceptionally stable and does not require periodic factory recalibration or adjustment, minimizing maintenance while maximizing data integrity
