Overview
With greater accuracy than the TCM 2.6, soft-iron calibration, and extended tilt ranges of up to ± 80°, the TCM 3 is designed to provide high-resolution digital compass heading in almost any environment - and in a cost-effective, low-power package.
The TCM3 combines PNI's patented magneto-inductive sensors with a 3-axis MEMS accelerometer in a single temperature- and noise-stabilized ASIC that's inherently free of offset drift. And using its included hard- and soft-iron correction algorithms, the TCM3 calibrates out most magnetic anomalies for repeatable, high-resolution measurement across a wide range of navigation sensor and tracking applications.
