1. A method for setting a gain of a magnetic field sensor, comprising:
providing the magnetic field sensor and an evaluation unit on a same printed circuit board;
generating a magnetic field signal with the magnetic field sensor;
transmitting the magnetic field signal to the evaluation unit;
evaluating the magnetic field signal with the evaluation unit by comparing the magnetic field signal with a threshold magnetic field signal, wherein the threshold magnetic field signal is determined at a minimum distance of the magnetic field sensor from an element generating a magnetic field and at a predetermined temperature;
setting the gain based on a difference between the magnetic field signal and the threshold magnetic field signal; and
transmitting a signal for setting the gain from the evaluation unit to the magnetic field sensor.
