Les unités les plus employées par les constructeurs sont le nanoTesla (10-9 T) correspondant au gamma, le microTesla (10-6 T), le milliTesla (10-3 T) ou le Gauss (10-4 T). Le champ magnétique terrestre varie de 70 000 nT (pôles) à 25 000 nT (équateur). Il était plus «humain» d'utiliser le Gauss, bien adapté à la mesure du champ magnétique terrestre qui fait en gros «un demi Gauss» (pas de nanos ou de micros à manipuler).
