Delivering the highest magnetic compass accuracy at HALF the price of other magnetic compasses.
TargetPoint SX – Digital Magnetic Compass
For laser rangefinder and targeting systems designers using the Vectronix® DMC-SX, the TargetPoint-SX is form, fit and function compatible to the Vextronix part, requiring little or no work to design into existing systems. And it’s much less expensive.

Unlike the Vectronix DMC-SX, mounting option is software configurable. Same TargetPoint-SX part number for all your systems – reduces cost of inventory and lead times.
ITAR-free and made in the U.S.A.
Combines PNI’s high sensitivity Magneto-Inductive heading sensor with the latest high stability 3-axis MEMS accelerometer for superior heading accuracy.
Quarter of the power consumption extends mission duration.
Advanced, field-proven calibration algorithms to ensure accuracy.
Guaranteed availability for the next 10 years, so it’s ideal to design in now.
