Amplifier Research SM40G Broadband Field Meter

The Amplifier Research SM40G broadband EM Field Meter provides measurement capability over a wide frequency (DC to 40 GHz) of electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields when used with the appropriate sensor head. By selecting the appropriate sensor heads for the desired field types, frequency ranges, and power levels, a single meter with removable sensor heads can replace multiple fixed-head dedicated field measuring meters. Refer to the SHseries sensor head specification sheets for the available sensor heads. The SM40G is housed within a durable metal shell with an integrated temperature sensor and GPS unit, provides X, Y, Z analog output and has a battery-life of more than 70 hours. It uses ARLinkwARe software for displaying measurements and data over the optical interface.

Multiple Monitoring and Data Logging

The SM40G allows the user to perform continuous monitoring activities, with more than 24 hours of recording time, and to periodically store the measured values by activating a START/ STOP function.

The user can store up to 8 monitoring sequences/events before downloading the data to a PC. A maximum limit of 21,504 samples can be recorded.

ARLinkwARe Software

The ARLinkwARe software supplied with the SM40G allows the user to:

• Operate the SM40G unit remotely using a PC connected via a fiber optic cable. This reduces the disturbance caused by human presence in the area where the sensor head is located.
  
  
• Download stored data, graphics, and tabular reports of the acquired readings from the SM40G and export the data to Microsoft Excel for further analysis.
  
  
• Highlight a portion of the graph and automatically focus on the corresponding readings or measurements within that area or period of the monitoring activity.

GPS Recording

Enabling GPS during outdoor monitoring allows recording location site of data that can be downloaded to a PC and viewed with mapping software.
