MFCTool software v. 10.3.2

October 2021

Notes

• The MFCTool v. 10.3.2 is used to map magnetic fields with the Magnetic Field Camera MFC2046 as well as the legacy MFC3045.
• The MFC2046 system contains an NMR Precision Teslameter PT2026, which can also be used for single-point measurements – even with an MFC9046 or MFC9146 Probe Array; in this case, the Probe Array is seen as a multiplexer with individual probes. To perform single-point measurements with your PT2026, please download and install the PT2026 software. MFCTool and the PT2026 software can both be installed on the same computer.
• MFCTool v. 10.3.2 requires at least PT2026 firmware version Tag_19_04_17 to be fully operational, and the Camera firmware option. To check whether these conditions are met, look at the main unit description in the MFCTool v10.3.2 connection page; it should read:

elXXXXXX-arm1.21-dsp2.8-cpld1.9-paXXX-optXXXXXXX1

where “X” represents irrelevant letters and digits.

• For a detailed installation procedure, see Section 2-2 of the MFCTool User’s Manual.
