The GSM-19 v6.0 Overhauser instrument is the total field magnetometer / gradiometer of choice in today's earth science environment - representing a unique blend of physics, data quality, efficiency, system design, and options that clearly differentiate it from other quantum magnetometers.


 Data Quality
      With data quality exceeding standard proton precession and comparable to more expensive optically pumped cesium units, the GSM-19 Onerhauser system is a standard in many fields, such as:
      • Mineral exploration - ground and airborne base station
      • Environmental and engineering applications
      • Pipline mapping
      • Unexploded ordnance detection
      • Archeology
      • Magnetic observatory measurements
      • Volcanology and earthquake prediction

Overhauser sensor

      Overhauser effect magnetometer are essentially proton precession devices except that they produce an order-of-magnitude greater sensitivity. These "supercharged" quantum magnetometers also deliver high absolute accuracy, rapid sampling, and high gradient tolerance.

Options
      "G" option adds second sensor for gradient measurements. The gradiometer sensors measure the two magnetic fields concurrently to avoid any temporal variations that could distort gradiometer readings. Features single button data recording for easy use.
      "W" option enables the acquisition of nearly continous data along survey lines. The system records data at diecrete time intervals as fast as two readings per second. Can be combined with "G" option.
      "F" option
reads up to five readings per second, ideal for vehicle-borne surveys. May be combined with the "G" option.
      GPS option integrated GPS receiver and software.
GEM Systems recently became the only manufacturer to provide a fully integrated GPS option for its' products. Along with meter to sub-meter positioning options, the new processing functionality enables users to take advantage of the benefits of GPS. Some of the capabilities include:
       • Pre-programming of way points.
       • Real-time coordinate transformation to UTM and local X-Y coordinate rotations
        •Survey “lane” guidance , with cross-track display and audio indicator
        •Post-processing of GPS data. GEM's DGPS option enables transfer of GPS data          for post-processing and merging via 3rd party software.
  .    • Precise time synchronization of field and base station units. This capability is          particularly important for working in noisy magnetic conditions and provides the          highest accuracy possible.

Fast Data Transfer

      A traditional area in which time is lost in surveys is in data transfer. In v6.0, GEM addressed this in several ways: Data download is tripled to 115 KBaud (fastest rate possible with RS-232). PC-based data reduction is now possible using an upgraded version of GEMLinkW, GEM's proprietary date transfer software.

GEMLink Acquisition/Display software

GEMLink 6.0 is a Windows 98/NT interactive interface supplied with the GSMP-30 magnetometer system console. It functions as the console's bi-directional RS-232 terminal. GEMLink 6.0 offers the user the option to save the instrument readings to a disk file, while displaying the incoming data in text, profile and map modes.
