Testing of the three axis magnetometers for measurements of the earths magnetic field

The paper presents experimental setup for testing of the three axis magnetoresisitive magnetometers for measurements of the magnetic field within the range of Earth's magnetic field. Measuring setup integrates three axis Helmholtz coils controlled by the specialized current source. The accuracy of magnetic field generated by the Helmholtz coils is up to 0.6% for the one direction. Presented experimental setup can be also applied for investigation and calibration of the other magnetometers utilizing magnetoresistive, Hall or fluxgate sensors.
