The invention concerns a magnetic field measuring device equipped with a fluxgate magnetometer, the device comprising: a magnetic sensor or magnetic sensor (110,210) capable of delivering at least one output signal (S2), and equipped with at least one magnetic core, means of exciting said magnetic core, comprising generating means (120,220,420) capable of emitting an excitation signal (S1, S10) at the input of the circuit or magnetic sensor, in the form of a succession of pulses (125,126,225,226), means (130,230,330,430) of sampling the output signal (S1) of the magnetic circuit (110,210), further comprising means for: following the emission of at least one given pulse of said succession of pulses, triggering at least one acquisition of the output signal (S2) of the magnetic circuit by the sampling means during the duration of said given pulse. The invention further concerns a method employed by means of such a device.
