Introduction The MK-1 is a single axis magnetic field compensation system designed for image improvement in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and other applications where feedback magnetic field control systems are not suitable. The system reduces slow disturbances, e. g. caused by trams, elevators or vehicles, as well as magnetic noise produced by power lines by establishing a counteracting magnetic field with the...
filter modules. The basic version contains one magnetometer and one filter module. It is possible to install up to three magnetometers and filters. Compensation coils are not part of the MK-1 and must be provided separately. The mains power connector and switch as well as connectors for sensors and com- pensation coils are located on the rear panel.

panel. If two or three magnetometer modules are installed, then they must not be interchanged. The digital display shows the DC magnetic field in T. The display range can be changed between 19.99 T and 199.9 T with the switch RANGE. The magnetometer is zeroed by pressing the RESET button.
Filter module Description The filter module provides analog filtering of the magnetometer output signal. It contains two parallel band-pass filter sections for 16.7 Hz (or 60 Hz, depending on version) and 50 Hz, a DC channel, and a summing amplifier. The output signals of the individual filter sections can be switched separately and with selectable polarity to the input of the summing amplifier.
Operation and adjustment Before the instrument is switched on with the rear side power switch, the sen- sor(s) and compensation coils must be properly installed and connected to the corresponding receptacles. Turn the rotary gain switch on the amplifier front to position 0.
