## What is Magnetscape Lite?

"Magnetscape Lite" is a new measurement app that observe invisible magnetic fields by using a built-in iPhone magnetic sensor.

There are various magnetic fields in our surroundings. For example, the magnetic field fluctuates even with a large motor, a compressor, or a metal nearby. Earth's magnetic field exists even in places where there is nothing, and we are affected by that magnetic filed.

This app can monitor the surrounding magnetic field in real time, it can be used for various purposes in real life. For instance, it can be used for investigation of static magnetic field, search for low electromagnetic field at alternating magnetic field (electromagnetic field), metal detection and more.

- Scope
Perform a graphic display that shows the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field.
In Scope, the magnetic flux density of the magnetic field is expressed by the size and color of the graphic circle.
The display position of the graphic circle, but will move to match the polarity of the magnetic source, the polarity is attracted towards the N-pole if it is the same direction as the geomagnetic field, polarity is reversed away if it is the opposite (S-pole). If there is no metal or magnetic field nearby, it will be shifted in the direction of the geomagnetism (N-pole).

- Time
Trace the RAW data from the magnetic sensor and its corrected data. It is a time displacement graph of each axis value (Bx / By / Bz) and composite magnetic flux density (Bcomp) in three-dimensional space. 

Features:
- Graphical display of magnetic field observation by magnetic sensor (Scope)
- Time displacement graph display of magnetic field observation (Time)
- Magnetic field observation
　X axis: intensity (Bx) of the magnetic field of (the right direction toward the screen)
　Y axis: intensity (By) of the magnetic field of (upward toward the screen)
　Z axis: magnetic field strength (Bz) in the of (vertical upward direction of the screen)
　Composite magnetic flux density: The magnetic field strength (Bcomp) that takes all three components of the x axis, the y axis, and the z axis into consideration
　Unit of observation value: uT
- Measurement time: 1 minutes
- Alert function: A warning message will be displayed if the composite magnetic flux density exceeds 300 μT.
- Alert sound function. (Sound Off/On)
- Angle display function in Scope mode. (Angle)
- Clock display function in Scope mode.

Notes:
- The display value of this application is the RAW output  data from the magnetic sensor itself. We do not do any processing such as filtering processing inside the application.
- Since the magnetic sensor is a delicate device, the internal reference value of the magnetic sensor may be disturbed by being exposed to extremely strong magnets and magnetic fields for a long time.
- If the reference value of the magnetic sensor goes wrong, once you stop the application and leave it for a while, the magnetic sensor is readjusted automatically. If the magnetic sensor is still unstable, please try the electronic compass calibration and its reset procedure.

Please visit our iOS App Support page for more information on this app.

### 5/5 — Seems to work!

*2019-03-23, version 1.1*

I was having trouble finding an app that detected activity from my PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) therapy device.  This was the first one that I tried that actually started going haywire when I turned the device on.  It would be nice to see a graph on the activity though.

## Frequently asked questions about Magnetscape Lite

### What can Magnetscape Lite be used for?

Magnetscape Lite can be used to observe invisible magnetic fields in real-time. This includes investigating static magnetic fields, searching for low electromagnetic fields, and detecting nearby metal objects.

### How does Magnetscape Lite display magnetic field data?

It offers two main views: 'Scope,' which graphically displays the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field using a colored circle, and 'Time,' which traces the raw and corrected sensor data over time with graphs for each axis and the composite magnetic flux density.

### Does Magnetscape Lite have any alert features?

Yes, Magnetscape Lite includes an alert function that displays a warning message if the composite magnetic flux density exceeds 300 μT. It also has an alert sound function that can be turned on or off.

### What are the units of measurement for Magnetscape Lite?

The unit of observation value for magnetic field strength in Magnetscape Lite is microteslas (μT).

### Is Magnetscape Lite available on multiple devices?

Magnetscape Lite is supported on iPhone, iPad, and iPod devices, indicating broad compatibility within the Apple ecosystem.

### How often is Magnetscape Lite updated?

The app was last updated on December 29, 2022, with version 5.0 being the latest release. This suggests a moderate update frequency.

### What is the age rating for Magnetscape Lite?

Magnetscape Lite has an age rating of 4+, making it suitable for a wide range of users, including younger individuals.

### What should I do if the magnetic sensor in Magnetscape Lite seems inaccurate?

If the magnetic sensor's reference value is disturbed, you should stop the application and leave it for a while. The magnetic sensor will readjust automatically. If issues persist, further troubleshooting may be needed.
