Abstract
A complete system for scalar calibration of magnetometers is being introduced in this article. The main part of the system is an absolutely non-magnetic mechanical platform which is driven by piezoelectric motors. Together with the electronic control unit and software equipment it forms a unique system for on-site scalar calibration of space-grade magnetometers. The parameters of the calibration system and experiences obtained during the construction phase are presented.
