NVE offers two types of analog magnetic sensors: magnetometers,
which measure magnetic field strength; and gradiometers,
which measure the change, or gradient, in field strength
over a distance. Popular part types are listed below
(click on Part Numbers for details, pricing, or to buy

Unipolar operation means exposure to magnetic fields
of one polarity, for example 0 to +30 Gauss, or -2 to
-50 Gauss. Bipolar operation (for example -5 to + 10
Gauss) increases nonlinearity and hysteresis.
