Embodiments generally relate to a measuring instrument. The measuring instrument may comprise: a sensor to measure a property of the local environment; a mechanism configured to cause the sensor to move along a predetermined path relative to a fixed reference frame of the instrument; and a signal processing system configured to receive a processor sensor signal generated by the sensor, perform a Fourier transform on the sensor signal to identify frequency components of the sensor signal, and compare the frequency components of the sensor signal with frequency components associated with the predetermined path to determine a measurement of the property of the local environment. The mechanism may comprise a first member having a first axis and a second axis that is different from the first axis. The mechanism may be configured to cause the first member and the sensor to rotate about the first axis, and to cause the sensor to rotate about the second axis. The sensor may be spatially offset from the first axis. The sensor may be configured to measure one or more vector components of a local force field, such as a magnetic field, for example, and the measuring instrument may comprise a magnetometer or magnetic gradiometer, for example. The measuring instruments disclosed may be suited to downhole applications, such as in a measurement while drilling system, for example.

Locating and characterising a magnetised body involves moving a magnetic gradient tensor sensor relative to the magnetised body along a profile, or allowing the magnetised body to move along a profile past the sensor. Magnetic gradient tensor measurements are obtained at points along the profile. A rotational invariant calculated from the eigenvalues of the magnetic gradient tensor measurements is then used to locate and/or characterize the body. The rotational invariant can be the scaled moment of a point dipole representation of the magnetised body, or one third of the square root of the scaled moment. The rotational invariant is modelled and sufficient measurements obtained to over-determine parameters of the model. A system of linear equations resulting from a model of the gradient tensor elements is then solved using the determined values of parameters.
