DEVICE DESCRIPTION:
A magnetometer is an instrument that measures Magnetic Flux Density (in Tesla's). The
Earth generates a relatively strong magnetic field, which produces flux densities, in air
or water. The values of the earth's magnetics range from a low of about 18 microTesla
(µT) near South America, to a high of over 60 microTesla in the Arctic Circle.
The GSM-19 Marine Magnetometer utilizes an omnidirectional Overhauser sensor and
can be configured to operate via the Overhouser effect or as a conventional proton
precession unit. See Configuration Details section for information on the Overhauser
effect.
The GSM-19 consists of one Overhauser sensor, an electronic 'fish' assembly and an
FSK transceiver unit. The fish and sensor are packaged in a sealed container with a

RS-232 ASCII output
Time = gpstime, else time is read from
magnetometer as hours, minutes, seconds.
Other parameters read for GSM19M: measurement
time, and magneticField.
Other parameters read for GSM-19MD:
magneticField, signal strength, depth of fish, leak,
measurement time, quality, warning message and
status.
See Configuration Details for Warning Messages.
