Magnetization

  1. Wrap a steel needle with insulated wire;
  2. Connect the wire with power supply operating under constant current mode. A small resistor of 2Ohm is connected in serial with the coil.
Measurement
  1.  Fix the sensor on the table;
  2.  Put the tip of the needle at a fixed position;
  3. Get the reading of the sensor from PC
