Tri-Axial External Magnetometer (XMAG)

XMAG-100-000, XMAG-100-001, XMAG-100-003

Overview

The XMAG is used to measure the magnetic field in the area of its installation. This in-production device is a solid-state sensor designed to fit within the normal location of a flux-gate sensor on an aircraft. It provides automatic ground and airborne calibration when used with an Athena unit. The XMAG receives power from the aircraft bus and contains RS232, RS-422 and 0-5 VDC analog outputs. It also has three 0-5 VDC analog outputs, one for each axis and one common analog ground for these signals. The XMAG-100 has an analog report rate capability of 300 Hz or better and a digital report rate capability of up to 250 Hz at 115.2 k/bps.
