The model VGM is designed for rapid identification and measurement of areas that are magnetized. It is a DC gaussmeter with X,Y and Z sensors at the end of a probe. It displays the magnitude of the field and the X, Y, and Z components, showing both the actual values and the peak values of all the variables. In addition, whenever the field magnitude exceeds a value that you set, an alarm sounds and lights up, and a "logic high" signal appears at the output jack. The meter is shipped ready-to-use, and includes a rubber boot with flip-down foot, 9-volt battery, AC adapter and calibration certificate. Price is $585 (USD). (A simpler 1-axis meter is available for $285.) Manufactured and calibrated in USA by AlphaLab, Inc., the model VGM is usually shipped the same day ordered. (This meter is optimized to measure magnetized parts; its range of 799.99 gauss is not high enough to measure the surface of most permanent magnets.
