Galileo - Model DMC300 -Digital Magnetic Compass

GALILEO DMC300 is a versatile, low powered and compact digital magnetic compass. The device measures magnetic heading with high accuracy, and is suitable for land and marine applications. DMC300 comprises triaxial solid state MEMS accelerometer and magnetometer sensors. Accelerometer is used to measure the roll and pitch in near-static conditions and magnetometer is used for estimation of heading. The roll and pitch measurements are used for tilt compensation of heading angle. The DMC300 runs a proprietary digital filter for noise reduction and computation of heading information even under dynamic conditions. DMC300 is a plug-and-play device with configurable update rates and RS232 and RS485 interfaces. DMC300 is most suited for compassing, surveying, antenna orientation and other direction sensing applications.
