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
differences in observed response I would think that the
important thing to do may be to find a way to calibrate out
the discrepancy. Then we can look at insulation to further
minimize the effect. </div>
<div>Calibration will hopefully give us more meaningful values
to begin with. </div>
<div>Insulation will dampen the effect of those behaviors over
short timespans.</div>
