Measurement Geometry
A single row of field strength measurements captured by sweeping a Gauss probe across the accessory surface at a fixed standoff distance from the coil face. The probe moves laterally from center outward, recording the field at each measurement point along the way. All readings in a scan line share the same distance from the coil.
A top-down scan grid over a round accessoryA round accessory seen from above with measurement points stepped outward from the center along four axes at a fixed spacing. A couple of points sit past the accessory edge to capture the field as it falls off.Point spacingOrigin (center)Accessory edgeX axisY axisExtra points beyond the edgeThe engineer measures the field twice as far apart once past the accessory edge.© 2026 Gauss Labs
The field is measured on a grid. Starting at the center, the test engineer steps a probe outward along each axis at a fixed point spacing, taking a reading at every point, and continues a little past the accessory edge to catch the field as it fades. The origin is the center of the accessory surface.
