Forapracticalsuperconductingquantuminterferencedevice(SQUID)basedmeasurementsystem,theTesla/voltcoefficientmustbeaccuratelycalibrated.Inthispaper,weproposeahighlyefficientmethodofcalibratingaSQUIDmagnetometersystemusingthreeorthogonalHelmholtzcoils.TheTesla/voltcoefficientisregardedasthemagnitudeofavectorpointingtothenormaldirectionofthepickupcoil.Byapplyingmagneticfieldsthroughathree-dimensionalHelmholtzcoil,theTesla/voltcoefficientcanbedirectlycalculatedfrommagnetometerresponsestothethreeorthogonallyappliedmagneticfields.Calibrationwithalternatingcurrent(AC)fieldisnormallyusedforbettersignal-to-noiseratioinnoisyurbanenvironmentsandtheresultsarecomparedwiththedirectcurrent(DC)calibrationtoavoidpossibleeffectsduetoeddycurrent.Inourexperiment,acalibrationrelativeerrorofabout6.89×10-4isobtained,andtheerrorismainlycausedbythenon-orthogonalityofthreeaxesoftheHelmholtzcoils.ThemethoddoesnotneedprecisealignmentofthemagnetometerinsidetheHelmholtzcoil.Itcanbeusedforthemultichannelmagnetometersystemcalibrationeffectivelyandaccurately.
