The Amplifier Research FM5004 is a versatile electric and magnetic field monitoring system that performs all measurement display, control, and alarm functions for field related testing. The FM5004 accepts inputs from up to 4 isotropic Field Probes (FPs) which are all sold separately to match the test application.
The FM5004 field monitor provides two digital interfaces (IEEE-488 and RS-232); a switch-selectable 0-5 VDC analog output; audible user-selected field strength, temperature and low battery alarms; a highly readable, user-configurable Liquid Crystal Display - all menu-driven and controlled from the front panel.
The FM5004 displays up to four probe readings simultaneously, in any combination of the five "E" field or two "H" field probes currently available or shows readings from each axis of a three-axis probe, plus the composite reading, simultaneously. The FM5004 recognizes each FP5000 series probe (or FP2000 series probes) and automatically displays the proper decimal places and units.
It is backward compatible with all glass cabled probes. Menu selection allows the user to configure and store up to four measurement set-ups and the user can choose individual ranges or implement the auto-ranging function. Any faults that occur will be spelled out on the screen and the unit is programmed to be self-correcting when possible. As a software-driven instrument, field monitor software upgrades can be made through the RS-232 port.
