Claim:
1. A device for monitoring signal levels of signals that are generated, for the purpose of detecting a magnetic field, by a plurality of Hall sensors, comprising: a first input for a first signal from a first Hall sensor of the plurality of Hall sensors, wherein a first electrical resistor includes a first terminal connected directly to the first input and a second terminal connected directly to a central point; a second input for a second signal from a second Hall sensor of the plurality of Hall sensors, wherein a second electrical resistor includes a first terminal connected directly to the second input and a second terminal connected directly to the central point; a third input for a third signal from a third Hall sensor of the plurality of Hall sensors, wherein a third electrical resistor includes a first terminal connected directly to the third input and a second terminal connected directly to the central point, wherein a resistance level of the second resistor is double a resistance level of the first resistor and a resistance level of the third resistor is quadruple the resistance level of the first resistor; and a diagnostic device that is connected to the central point and configured to determine a position and/or an orientation of the detected magnetic field using an average value that results from the first signal, second signal, and third signal.
