==Internals== | |||
Locking the probe requires pushing past the resistance felt when the core almost closes. This engages a mechanism that firmly presses both core halves together, and extinguishes the "Probe unlocked" indicator. | |||
The P6042's core halves are precision lapped and potted with epoxy. They have Mu-metal screening. The lower (fixed) core also contains the Hall element. | |||
Unfortunately, the P6042 probe is quite sensitive mechanically, and in many units offered for sale, the cores are damaged. | |||
