Abstract

The paper illustrates an automatic procedure for calibration and adjustment of Giant Magneto Resistance (GMR) sensors capable to quantify and reduce some of their measurement problems, as non-linearity, hysteresis and temperature dependence, in order to allow their use also as magnetometers for magnetic field amplitude measurement. The procedure, based on a hardware/software solution, shows a good measurement performance without introducing a relevant complexity in the whole measurement procedure.
