Thank you, David. We will do that.

Dave Witten, Scotty, and Hyomin, I think we should make sure Dave McGaw gets access to some of these to test, especially since he has access to testing facilities and significant experience in this area.

As I have mentioned, I do have a Bartington flux-gate magnetometer to compare to and have access to a set of Helmholz coils that can be used for calibration and test.
