    Interesting, this, as it says on the RM3100 webpage "Measurements
    are stable over temperature and inherently free of offset drift" and
    a temperature coefficient is not even mentioned in the specs.<br>

      <font face="Arial">Good morning all.  Betty Zhang at PNI is
        responding to the request and has asked for more information
        which I have supplied, including some of the JJ test
        comparisons, how I ran the calibration runs I did, data
        reduction, etc. <br>
        <br>
        I would suggest one further item for consideration in getting to
        a useable solution.  If RM3100 temperature turns out to be a
        concern, place the sensor in a small foam insulated box with a
        proportionally controlled heater which maintains the temperature
        at something just above what would be considered the highest
        environmental temperature around the sensor.  That should be
        relatively simple to do without introducing an interfering
        magnetic field local to the sensor.  Some power would be
        required but with careful design, I would think well within 1
        watt.<br>
        <br>
        Another possibility would be using peltier effect heat pumps to
        do the same thing, although the technology would probably result
        is stronger local B fields from the peltier device and require
        more power.  The insulated foam box and proportional heater is
        also probably the cheapest approach considering the need to keep
        overall costs for the expected users low.<br>

          <div>If temperature compensation does account for the
