Page 4: Section-1 Introduction
Section 1 Introduction UNDERSTANDING FLUX DENSITY Magnetic fields surrounding permanent magnets or electrical conductors can be visualized as a collection of magnetic flux lines; lines of force existing in the material that is being subjected to a magnetizing influence. Unlike light, which travels away from its source indefinitely, magnetic flux lines must eventually return to the source. -

The above process can be repeated at various locations to determine the area in the home or workplace where ELF magnetic fields are present. The Models 4180 and 4190 can assist you in locating the sources of ELF magnetic radiation in the home or workplace, and thus allow you to take prudent steps to reduce your exposure. -

SHIFT KEY. This key is used for activating the 4190’s additional features (Hold / Reset and Analog Output). The model 4180 meter will not respond to this key since it does not have these features. AXIS Select / RESET. The displayed reading can be changed to show the X, Y or Z axis, or the vector summation of X, Y and Z by pressing the AXIS key. -

RELATIVE / OUTPUT. When REL is selected, the meter will establish the present field level as the “new” zero point. This feature is useful for measuring field changes relative to a field level other than zero. Model 4190 only: By pressing SHIFT- REL, the analog output is activated and a DC or AC signal proportional to the field magnitude will be available at the analog output 3.5mm connector. -
Page 9: Display Layout
Display Layout: The display legends on the LCD indicate the various operating modes and functions of the 4100 Series meter. Figure 3-3 XYZ Axis indicator: The selected axis is indicated on the top left hand corner of the display. When the unit is powered on, it will return to the last state it was in when last powered down. -

Analog OUTput: When the analog output is activated, the indicator “OUT” is visible accompanied by either the DC (---) or the AC (~) symbol. This feature is only functional on the Model 4190. By pressing the SHIFT– OUTPUT key sequence the meter will switch between output off, DC OUT, or AC OUT. See figure 3-3. In DC OUT mode the signal is calibrated to 2.0Vdc full scale. -
Page 11: Section-4 Software And Usb Port
Software Development with third party Application Programming Interface (API) Both the 4180 and 4190 may be controlled by customer written software through the API file fwb4100.dll. Many higher level programming languages and development environments allow calls to functions in an API (DLL) file. -
