Compass (MX200, MX500, MX501 and MX600)
Compass equipped sensors utilize a 2-axis compass and magnetic field
sensing module. The compass is used to electronically sense the
difference in the earth's field from the system's magnetic field. An on-
board microprocessor electronically subtracts out the system's magnetic
fields, reporting highly accurate compass readings. Wind direction data is
corrected for the orientation of the sensor. The output of the wind
direction is relative to magnetic North.
GPS (MX200, MX500, MX501 and MX600)
GPS equipped sensors use a highly accurate GPS antenna receiver
module including a ceramic GPS patch antenna. The module is capable
of receiving signals from up to 48 GPS satellites.
