Digital Compass
Digital Compass
The OS5500-USG is an extremely small form factor (1" x 1") three axis, tilt compensated digital compass. The flexible design allows customers to use either a USB or RS232 Serial connection for system integration. The OS5500-USG provides precise heading, roll and pitch data ideal for rapid attitude measurement. The compass offers an easy to use ASCII interface, hard and soft-iron calibration and simple data configuration for your application.
The OS5500-USG supports the direct connection of an amplified pressure transducer and the ability to convert the pressure data to depth in water. The compass will report depth in the compass strings. Compatible pressure transducers operate in the 0.5V – 4.5V direct output (such as the MSI MSP-340). Reference the Compass User Guide for further information on transducer connection.Key
