Setting Up Your Instrument

Parameter OptionsThe Parameter Options enable the user to configure the magnetometer survey. This is the most important sub-screen of the ENVI Cs and particular care must be taken to fully understand each parameter.

Mode of OperationThe mode of operation can be either Search/Base or Stop and Go. The Search/Base mode is an auto-repeat mode insofar that the ENVI Cs takes measurements continuously. The Stop and Go mode, as its name implies allows the user to stop at discreet stations to take measurements.

Note:

The mapping function can be used in Search or Stop and Go modes. It is pointless in the Base Station mode as your ENVI Cs would then be stationary.

To select the mode of operation, use your stylus pen to the pull-down arrow located on the right-hand side of the field. By clicking on the arrow, the selections will appear. Click the desired setting. Use the console keyboard to enter the values in any given field.

Rate (#/sec)The ENVI Cs retains its accuracy of 0.01 nT even at a sampling Rate of 10 samples per second. Therefore, unless you specifically want to sample at a lower rate, we recommend you leave this parameter as is at 10. You can change it in much the same manner as the Mode of Operation.

Note:

The default rate of sampling is 10 times per second.

Setup

Field (nTesla)The Field Value is used as a filter value in the bandwidth calculation. Normally this would be the average magnetic field value in your area.

Base Field (nTesla)The Base Field value is used as a datum that will be subtracted from the base station values. If used in conjunction with the field value, they should be set to the same value.

BandWidth (Hz) The Bandwidth is related to the filter applied to the larmor precession signal.

Sensor Sep (m)The Sensor Separation is the distance between your sensors when your ENVI Cs is configured as a gradiometer.

# of SensorsThe ENVI Cs can accommodate up to 4 simultaneous sensors. Only 2 sensors can be accommodated at the present time.

Note:

In the gradient mode, the number of sensors will be set to 2. In the total field mode, the number of sensors must be 1.

To use the GPS receiver, you must enable the GPS by clicking on the GPS box.

Note:

When the GPS is enabled, you will notice that the station designation field is disabled.

Map Registration Program

The GPS Registration Program allows the user to create WayPoint files, create Map Info files and Map files.Before you start the GPS Map Registration program you must obtain a graphic file (preferably in *.bmp format) of the area you want to survey. This will serve as a background in the Numeric screen, see “Taking a Measurement - Numeric Screen with GPS navigation” on page 3-16.

Important:

You must know the position, either in UTM or LAT/LONG of at least three points on your graphic file in order to properly register the map. Please note that blank maps can be registered as long as you know these three positions.

You will then create waypoints which you will walk towards on the ground. These are most commonly the beginning and end points of your survey lines.Once you have created your waypoints, you will calibrate your map and save it. The Map Registration program will then create the WayPoint file, the Map Info file and the map file all of which are necessary for GPS assisted magnetometry.

B Theory

System OverviewAs shown below, the ENVI Cs sensor consists of a sensor head with cable and sensor electronics.

Figure B-1 ENVI Cs Sensor Head and ElectronicsThe sensor head has an electrodeless discharge lamp (containing cesium vapor) and absorption cell. Electrical heaters bring the lamp and the cell to optimum operating temperatures with control and driving circuits located in the electronics console. Heating currents are supplied to the sensor head through the interconnecting cable.

When operating, an RF oscillator in the electronics console provides RF power to a lamp exciter in the sensor head and the radio frequency (RF) field produces a corresponding resonant optical radiation (light). The light radiating from the cesium lamp is collimated by a lens. The light propagates in the direction of the sensor optical axis and passes through an interference filter which selects only the cesium D1 spectral line. The light is subsequently polarized in a split, right/left hand circular polarizer before it is allowed to optically excite cesium vapor in the absorption cell.

Theory of optical pumpingThe narrow bandwidth resonant light causes momentary alignment (polarization) of the atomic magnetic moments to the direction of the ambient magnetic field. The resonant light "optically pumps" the cesium atoms to a higher energy state. (Note that the polarizing light beam has to be oriented in the general direction of the ambient field to be effective.)Large numbers of cesium atoms can be polarized by optical pumping and then induced to precess coherently in phase around the ambient field by means of a small magnetic field, H1. This small magnetic field is transverse to the ambient field and alternating at the Larmor frequency. The H1 field is produced by a coil in the ENVI Cs. The coil is coaxial with the sensor optical axis and wound around the absorption cell. Polarized resonant light perpendicular to the ambient magnetic field detects the precession. This light is alternately more or less absorbed, depending on the instantaneous orientation of the polarization.In the ENVI Cs, this probing light is the perpendicular component of the resonant light beam. If the modulation of through-the-absorption-cell transmitted light is detected with the photosensitive detector, and the resulting Larmor signal is sufficiently amplified and phase-shifted before being fed back to the H1 coil, then a closed loop self-oscillating circuit results.The resonance occurs at the Larmor frequency, which in weak fields, e.g. the Earth's magnetic field, is precisely linear with the field in which the absorption cell is located. For the cesium 133 the proportionality constant (gyromagnetic constant) is 3.498577 Hz per nT.

System Overview

Theory

As indicated, different components of the same resonant light beam perform two functions: • the component parallel to the ambient field performs the optical pumping• the perpendicular component detects the coherent precession. Therefore, no pumping is taking place if the light beam (the optical axis) is perpendicular to the ambient field (the equatorial orientation) and consequently the sensor is not operating. Equally, no light modulation is taking place if the light beam is parallel with the ambient field (the polar orientation) and consequently the sensor is not operating. The second reason for the sensor not operating in the polar orientation is that the H1 field, being parallel to the ambient field, can not induce precession of the magnetic polarization.

Operating hemispheresThe plane perpendicular to the ambient field divides the sensor operating zones into two hemispheres - northern and southern operating hemisphere. In the northern operating hemisphere the sensor light beam, which propagates in the direction of the optical axis, Figure B-2, forms an angle from 0° to 90° with the direction of the ambient field. In this hemisphere, the phase shift of the Larmor signal amplifier required for the self-oscillation at the peak of the resonance is -90°.

Figure B-2 Northern Operating HemisphereIn the southern operating hemisphere the light beam forms an angle from 90° to 180° with the ambient field direction, Figure B-3. There, the phase shift of the Larmor signal amplifier required for the self-oscillation at the peak of resonance is +90°. Thus the phase change of 180° is required to make the sensor operational when the operating hemisphere is changed.
