 LISN Magnetometer System Hardware Development • The experimental considerations of the current magnetometers

LISN Magnetometer System Hardware Development • The experimental considerations of the current magnetometers in operation have led us to develop and construct a new high performance fluxgate magnetometer at Jicamarca. • Internal GPS has been incorporated for precisely and timing software controlled of the overall magnetometer operation. • We describe also a development plan for a new data acquisition system based on embebed and stand alone system which is being carried out at IGP.

Conclusions and Recommendations • Five magnetometres are operating in near real time. • There are some data gaps in the reported data due to logistical problems such as Internet and lost of data due to stations AC power outages or PC fails. • It is recommended to have a periodical stations maintenance and calibrations at least once a year • Upgrade the existing LISN magnetometers network with the new developed magnetometers • Improve the logisic and communications beetwen operators
