PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENT - Introducing Honeywell’s TruePoint™ Compass Module
New three-axis digital compass offers affordable high performance
|
| |
| MINNEAPOLIS, MN, September 9, 2005 - Honeywell’s TruePoint™ Compass Module provides accurate navigation in challenging environments. TruePoint™ can be mounted and used in any orientation making it ideal for applications like land and maritime navigation, laser rangefinders, robotic vehicles and antenna alignment. This compass module can automatically provide compass azimuth referenced to true north. |
| |
| Unique features of this new compass product include: |
- Azimuth angle, true or magnetic
- Pitch and roll (tilt) angle
- 1 degree accuracy
- Built-in magnetic compensation functions and
- Small footprint, low power, light weight.
|
| Advanced dead reckoning technology for the TruePoint™ Compass Module combines data from three silicon magnetometers and three MEMS accelerometers to provide compass azimuth as well as pitch and roll angle. The World Magnetic Model is built-in so that the compass can automatically provide compass azimuth referenced to true north. Data collection is automatic and users can monitor their progress and effectiveness of corrections using a Honeywell software test program. |
