We have constructed a prototype of a vibrating reed magnetometer with
a tunnel junction sensor, Our design uses a single Inchworm(R) motor,
controlled by a PC, for both coarse approach and fine positioning. Thi
s article discusses the mechanical design of the system, the interface
electronics, the software and the preliminary test results.
