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 a triaxial solid-state MEMS accelerometer and magnetometer sensors. An accelerometer is used to measure the roll and pitch in near-static conditions and a magnetometer is used for estimation of heading. The roll and pitch measurements are used for tilt compensation of the 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.
