The MicroMag is an integrated 2-axis magnetic field sensing module designed
to aid in evaluation and prototyping of PNI Corporation’s technology. The
MicroMag combines PNI Corporation’s patented Magneto-Inductive (MI) sensors
and measurement circuit technology for unparalleled cost effectiveness
and performance. The MI sensors change inductance by 100% over its field
measurement range. This variable inductance property is used in a cost
and space efficient ASIC (PNI 11096) which incorporates a patented temperature
and noise stabilized oscillator/counter circuit with an SPI interface.
The microprocessor compatible SPI interface allows easy access to the
MicroMag’s measurement parameters and resulting field measurement data.
Advantages include both 3V and 5V operation for compatibility with new
and traditional systems, low power consumption, small surface mount packaging,
large signal noise immunity under all conditions, and a large dynamic
range. Resolution and field measurement range are software configurable
for a variety of applications. The measurement is very stable over temperature
and inherently free from offset drift. These advantages make PNI Corporation's
MicroMag the choice for prototyping, education and low volume applications.
A reference design is also available for use in high volume applications.
The V2Xe is an integrated 2-axis compass and magnetic field sensing
module featuring an on-board microprocessor for control and interfacing.

V2Xe the choice for applications that require a solution that has a high
degree of azimuth accuracy, requires little power, and has a small package
size.

The TCM2-50 precision 3-Axis orientation sensing instrument provides:
-Tilt compensated compass heading (also known as azimuth, yaw, or bearing
angle). The heading is accurate even when tilted up to ±50° due to precise
electronic gimbaling or tilt compensation. -Built in calibration to correct
compass heading when near magnetic sources and magnetic materials that
may distort Earth's magnetic field. These corrections are also known as
Hard and Soft Iron calibration. -Precise tilt angles relative to Earth's
gravity, known as the pitch and roll angle. Pitch angle is also known
as elevation or dive angle. The roll angle is sometimes also called the
bank angle. -Temperature measured in °F or °C. -Calibrated or uncalibrated
magnetic field intensity in 3 dimensions. Data is output on a standard
RS-232 serial interface with a simple text protocol that includes checksums
for superior data integrity.
Heading Information Accuracy when level: 1.0° RMS Accuracy when tilted:
