The THM1176 family of instruments resembles other standard USB devices; it
and its software are easy to install and easy to use. Nonetheless, please take a
moment to browse through Chapter 2-Quick Start Guide and Chapter 3-Overview.
Pay particular attention to the cautionary notes.
It is easy to develop custom software for the THM1176 family; please see Chapter
4-Options for Computer Control, Chapter 5-USB Interface, and Chapter 8-Error
Codes.
Finally, keep your instrument accurate and up to date by having it recalibrated at
regular intervals. The recommended calibration interval is 18 months. You can
benefit from a discounted price for the calibration if you return your instrument to
Metrolab at a time that corresponds to our batch calibrations; please see Section
6-9 for details.
You can also download the latest firmware, software and manual, free of charge.
We post all updates on our website. Section 3-7 provides some additional details.
We hope that your Three-axis Magnetometer will help you perform your magnetic
field measurements easily and accurately. If you have problems and your reseller
cannot help you further, the Metrolab team is ready to help. Even if you don’t have
problems, we are always interested in knowing more about how our instruments
are used. Feel free to contact us at any time at contacts@metrolab.com.
