Proposed merge with Magnetometer

that only applies to older deflection needle DC guassmeters for the 19th century and doesn't included newer AC guassmeters. true then provide a source that proves that AC guassmeters are being sold under the name magnetometer in the 21th century. Rosedart (talk)
 * magnetometer is an extremely old, out of date name
 * They don't even sell AC guassmeters, under the name magnetometer, because its the wrong name for the meter.  If that's not


 * Merge or simply redirect, but merge from gaussmeter to magnetometer, which is the proper name for the instrument. And the good article. Kolbasz (talk) 23:10, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment I have reversed by template (fix own error) as meant to propose merge into magnetometer. ''' Flat Out   let's discuss it   00:03, 26 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Merge - I don't know where gets the idea that "magnetometer" is an out of date term, but it doesn't seem to be supported by the sources. The only authoritative sources I could find for a definition of "gaussmeter" say that it is simply a magnetometer calibrated in gauss (see A Dictionary of Physics and Merriam-Webster).
