11.3. Compass – Compass Calibration
Compass is used to calibrate the optional internal compass/tilt sensor for the effects of ambient
magnetic fields. Note: This software was formerly named CompCalW.
• Compass establishes communication and starts a display of compass data.
• Compass gives calibration instructions and displays compass data.
• At the end of calibration, Compass reports a calibration score. See the ADVField Operation
Manual for information about compass operation and calibration.
• Compass records all compass calibration data and results to a log file.
The Compass window is divided into several areas (Figure 13).
• The top area contains communication controls and parameters. This area also displays com-
pass and tilt sensor data.
• The gray area at the bottom displays calibration instructions and program status.
• The
Connect
icon establishes communication with the ADVField and starts the display of
compass data.
• The
Go
icon starts the compass calibration procedure;
Stop
ends calibration.
