OS5000-USG 3 Axis Digital Compass with Depth (Optional Raw Gyro Output)

The OS5000-USG is an extremely small form factor (1.0” x 1.0”) 3 axis, tilt compensated digital compass. The flexible design allows customers to use either a USB or RS232 Serial connection for system integration. The OS5000-USG provides precise heading, roll and pitch data ideal for rapid attitude measurement. The compass offers an easy to use ASCII interface which includes hard-iron and soft-iron calibration and simple data configuration for your application. In addition, the OS5000-USG can be used calculate depth using an off the shelf pressure transducer (for example MSI MSP-340 not included). In addition, this compass has the option to output raw X,Y gyro data. The gyro data is not used to tilt compensated the heading.
