Compass
The TruPulse 360R utilizes the latest in electronic compass technology. The internal circuitry
provides 3-axis monitoring of the earth’s magnetic field and uses proprietary calibration algorithms
to produce the best possible azimuth accuracy while having a simple field calibration procedure.
The TruPulse 360R evaluates the local magnetic environment during each field calibration and
provides user feedback of the quality of the calibration. In addition, the instrument has built-in
system tests, which continually monitor the integrity of the compass calibration and alert a user if a
re-calibration is required. The TruPulse 360R helps you to produce quality field results by keeping
a constant watch on its internal status.
TruVector™ Technology
Incorporated into the TruPulse 360R is LTI’s TruVector technology. This allows the instrument to
take an accurate azimuth and inclination reading no matter how it is oriented in physical space.
The TruPulse 360R can be tilted, rolled, or even upside down and it will still measure the correct
azimuth and inclination in the direction that you are viewing. This is accomplished by combining a
3-axis magnetic sensor with a 3-axis tilt sensor – so the TruPulse 360R always knows its position in
3D space, and the direction of the Earth’s magnetic field – no matter how it is oriented. TruVector
technology allows you the ultimate freedom to “shoot from any angle.”
Digital Processor
The TruPulse 360R includes LTI's proprietary ASIC chip (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit).
The ASIC chip combined with high-speed CPU processing allows the TruPulse 360R to deliver
accurate and fast measurements.
