Malcolm,

Hi. Can anyone reassure me.
Be reassured. Your meter is measuring the magnetic field, and the 
calibration setup is primarily generating a magnetic field. The cal is 
being done under near-field conditions to permit the use of low power 
and take advantage of knowing the mag field accurately based on geometry 
and current measurement. The scale conversion to electric field remains 
valid as long as you agree to take your real measurements under 
far-field conditions.
A further discussion of calibration techniques including a simpler 
arrangement than Helmholtz coils may be found at:
