A built-in spectrum analyzer shows the distribution of the measured values over time and displays the type of radiation measured, e.g. phone, WIFI, if it can be differentiated, otherwise \u201cmixed\u201d is displayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The EMF measurement is also represented numerically in three-dimensional space with respect to the X, Y and Z axes, as shown graphically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The log data can be downloaded via USB using free software (Windows). There is also connectivity under Mac OS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sensoren\"><\/span>Sensors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The EMF sensors are located in the upper third, the RF sensor is in the upper right corner of the device and the EF sensor is in the middle of the front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This results in the lower third as an area that is used to hold the device in the hand without covering the display or influencing the sensors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Messen\"><\/span>Measure<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Measurements must always be carried out in such a way that sources of interference are largely eliminated before the measurement (e.g. your own cell phone, Bluetooth connections, switching off electrical circuits).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you want to find out which devices in your home environment emit a higher radiation potential, you turn the measuring device on by pressing the power switch for about a second and wait for the various data to be displayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The spectrum analyzer graphic provides an overview of existing frequencies and the emitted power. The individual measured values EF, EMF and RF provide information about the existing electric field strength, the electromagnetic component and the power density per square meter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Interpretation\"><\/span>interpretation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowledge from the field of radio technology is helpful for interpreting the measured values obtained.
