Instrument Records Magnetic Fields Generated By LightningPortable, self-contained, compact instrument measures and records transient magnetic fields particularly those generated by nearby lightning strikes. Designed to be placed near sensitive electronic equipment in anticipation of thunderstorms. Data recorded during thunderstorms analyzed afterward to determine whether magnetic effects of lightning strong enough to have damaged and/or affected operation of sensitive equipment. Provides data helping engineers decide whether sensitive equipment should be tested for damage and/or other effects caused by lightning. Typical installations in which instrument beneficial include outdoor sensing equipment, computer rooms, broadcasting stations, and powerplant control rooms.
