SpacePoint 9 Axis Sensor Systems
Take your controller a giant step forward with PNI's revolutionary SpacePoint™ technology. By enabling the creation of controllers with true, 360˚ pointing accuracy, full-range-of-motion tracking and no perceivable lag-time, SpacePoint technology provides an unbeatably accurate interface for high-speed gaming controllers, smart TV remotes, and other motion-tracking devices such as mobile devices.
Reference Magnetic Sensors
The highest accuracy sensors in their class, PNI's patented Reference Magnetic Sensors deliver high performance resolution and repeatability with extremely low noise. The Reference Magnetic Sensors have a wide field measurement range, superior noise immunity, no hysteresis, and are extremely stable over temperature. All this comes with the lowest power consumption in the industry.
Unlike magneto-resistive sensors, PNI’s Reference Magnetic Sensors do not require temperature calibration nor high current set-and-reset pauses before each measurement. Hence, they are simple to design in, and peak current requirement is dramatically reduced. It isn’t surprising that this patented technology has been proven across a wide spectrum of applications, including motion tracking, compassing, robotics and targeting.
CompassPoint Compass Modules
The CompassPoint family of cost-effective, low-power consumption compasses harnesses the existing power of Earth's magnetic field to measure orientation in 2 or 3 dimensions. All CompassPoint modules incorporate PNI's magnetic distortion correction to ensure accurate heading measurements when installed in the host system. And because they typically use 2 to 3 times less power than comparable sensor modules, they're perfect for applications in which power sources are few and far between. CompassPoint modules represent exceptional values and are ideal components for cost-sensitive products that historically could not justify such well-featured digital compasses, such as laser range finders, sonobuoys, wind sensing equipment, and acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs).
FieldForce TCM and AHRS modules
The FieldForce family of tilt-compensated heading and orientation modules provides unparalleled 3-axis orientation performance. Combining PNI's patented magnetic sensing technology with a 3-axis accelerometer, PNI's proprietary algorithms compensate for tilt in the heading readings and correct for local magnetic distortions, allowing for the most accurate compass heading measurements available. FieldForce modules include electronic gimballing, allowing them to be mounted at virtually any orientation or position. Even in the most demanding environments, PNI FieldForce products deliver unmatched performance, making them ideal for applications such as high-performance ROV navigation, GPS system integration, vehicle sensing and tracking, drilling applications, robotics, and more.
TargetPoint DMC
PNI’s TargetPoint DMC 600 delivers best-in-class accuracy and reliability for azimuth and vertical angle sensing. By combining PNI's patented magnetic sensing technology with a 3-axis accelerometer and proprietary algorithms, PNI’s TargetPoint DMC compensates for tilt in the heading readings and corrects for local magnetic distortions. This results in accurate azimuth sensing and reduced target location error (TLE) – critical for the success of location and designation of targets, even in the most demanding conditions. TargetPoint DMC is extensively tested to military standards, including weapon shock, to ensure specifications are consistently met in the harshest environments.
Legacy TCM
PNI will continue to build and support these TCM's, but for new designs, the FieldForce or the CompassPoint products are recommended. The legacy TCMs include the TCM2.5, TCM2.6, TCM3, TCM5 and TCM5LT.
Legacy MicroMag
PNI will continue to build and support these MicroMag products, but for new designs, the FieldForce High-Performance Digital Compass or the CompassPoint Digital Compass products are recommended. Legacy MicroMags include the MicroMag2 and the MicroMag3.
