With our monitors, a CIM will start messing with it from about 1 foot away, not that bad, but still pretty strong.

Why, you worried about it interfering with something?

What about simply a compass?

To lower a magnetic field easiest would probably be a chunk of lead.

We dont have to worry about magnetic fields with our electronics because verything is solid state, and the data on the robot controller is not stored magneticly but written to memory.
