The Gauss meter consists of a Hall probe as a sensor and a complete instrument. The size, performance, and packaging structure of the Hall element inside the probe play a crucial role in the accuracy of magnetic field measurement. The Hall probe generates Hall voltage in a magnetic field due to the Hall effect. After measuring the Hall voltage, the magnetic induction intensity can be determined based on the Hall voltage formula and the known Hall coefficient. The reading of a Gauss meter is measured in units of Gauss or Tesla. Gauss is a common unit of measurement that is not legal, while Tesla is the legal unit of measurement.

Digital tachometers are used to measure the rotational speed of objects and can be categorized into contact and non-contact according to the measurement method. The contact type digital tachometer is limited and not convenient enough to use, the safety is also lower, but the price is relatively low, in industrial control, we often use non-contact type digital tachometer. Digital tachometer is one of the important measuring instruments in daily life, and has a wide range of applications in steam, electronics, textile, paper and other aspects.
