Digital Magnetic Compass

New Digital Magnetic Compass, half the size and twice as robust as the standard Prime DMC. Delivering field-accurate heading, pitch, and roll data, even where GPS is compromised or unavailable – with 1º of accuracy. These devices Combines PNI’s high sensitivity Magneto-Inductive heading sensor with the latest high stability 3-axis MEMS accelerometer for superior heading accuracy. At less than half the size of other digital compasses, Prime Pro, TargetPoint3, TargetPoint-SX and SeaTRAX-85 deliver accurate Heading data with Low power requirements. Ideal for laser range finders, ADCPs, buoys, drilling, oceanography systems and towed arrays.

Magneto-Inductive Magnetometer

Incredible resolution with low power, low mass, small size and large dynamic range. Getting accurate navigation and position data depends on having accurate magnetic field measurement to begin with. Unlike traditional Hall-effect sensors, the RM3100 magneto-inductive sensor has over 23 times better resolution and 33 times less noise resulting in far more precise data outputs. The RM3100 can detect fields as low as 2.7 nT at 1Hz, with a noise floor of 4 pT /vHz at 1Hz. It also has a linear response over a range of 100,000 nT. The RM3100 has been tested for various environmental conditions, such as thermal shock, mechanical shock, radiation, and thermal cycles, and has shown strong performance and stability. The Sensor suite is available on a Breakout Board (RM3100-14190EVK)
