DESCRIPTION

Galileo family includes reliable, low power and compact digital magnetic compass DMC300.

The device measures magnetic heading from north with high accuracy, and is suited for

land, naval and airborne applications.

DMC300 consists of the highly sensitive and stable MEMS triaxial accelerometer to measure

the roll and pitch. These measurements are further used to compensate the body

orientation (tilt compensation) and calculate the heading accurately. DMC employs proprie-

tary digital filter for noise resistance aiding to provide precise heading information even un-

der dynamic conditions. Owing to the use of solid state components DMC is reliable in vari-

ous operating conditions.

Equipped with features like plug-and-play, selectable update rate (1Hz, 10Hz) and widely

used RS232 and RS485 interfaces; the DMC300 is most suited for compassing, navigation,

land surveying, antenna orientation and other direction sensing applications.
