#130499 - Interference and reference
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I can't see any other way but to add some amplification. At the distance improvement I wish to make, the flux is quite low. Although I can "see" the difference in a multimeter, I think it would be wise to amplify the difference. Should I be looking at a Diff amp instead?

Currently, the ratiometric sensors are powered directly off of a 9 volt battery. The reference is a 3V lithium battery from the RTC. So it sounds like I'll have a decision to make there as well. Is it really wise to use the 9 volt battery (scaled down) as the reference? Wouldn't a precision reference be a better choice?

Thanks for the information.
Bruce
