Superconducting Flux Degausser

A superconducting flux degausser is used throughout Federation starships to degauss Flux generators and Flux spectrometers. The process is done after the usage of either a Flux generator or a Flux spectrometer to eliminate residual magnetic fields. If a flux generator is activated without being degaussed it will at best provide incorrect results and at worst it can cause a cascading failure in the machine which can be damaging to personnel operating it as well as the ship itself.
