Low cost advanced Compass Probe includes Pitch / Roll / Temperature
compensated COMPASS / MAGNETOMETER system built around a state of the
art CMOS microcontroller utilizing AOSI's proprietary algorithm on a
thin 7" long assembly that is istaled into a 1.25" diameter Garolyte
tube. The unit is sealed and potted and is ready to be used in a
splash-proof or shallow water applications. The unit outputs continuous
heading, magnetic field, dual axis tilt and temperature data over the
standard RS-232 and RS-422 interfaces. The AZIMUTH is generated from a
3 axis semiconductor magnetometer with 12 bit ( 0.08 deg ) resolution.
The LINEAR tilt information is available with 12 bit resolution for
over +-80arcdeg. COMPASS/TILT module is perfectly suitable for numerous
rock drilling, oil drilling, hole profiling, logging, marine array,
navigation, research, training, construction, entertainment and other
precision orientation, navigation and leveling applications. The
COMPASS is able to output multi-sensor information in NMEA-0183 mode
and responds to numerous generally used commands. Easy link through the
Hyper Terminal Windows accessory facilitates custom calibration, hard
iron compensation, data acquisition, data averaging, scan delay,
dumping factor and data display.
