Compass models come with Microsoft Windows compatible software for evaluation and testing.  The 5000-US software includes a USB to serial port driver, facilitating a quick connection between the compass and your Windows based system. Compasses can also be connected to a host system using Microsoft Hyperterm or other terminal programs.  When power is applied, they output sensor data at the preset rate.  You can change the rate or set output to 0, to stop output completely. The compass firmware provides basic functions for soft and hard iron calibration and configuration.  

Additional Specifications for all Products:

- Tilt compensated compass heading
- Yaw, Pitch and roll to 0.1 degree resolution
- Honeywell 3-axis Magnetic sensors
- STM 3-axis Accelerometer (full range tilt compensation)
- Offer both soft and hard iron calibration routines
