Capture
This command captures the current value of the auto-calibration, applies it to the current fixed hard
and soft iron calibration coefficients, and replaces the current fixed hard and soft iron calibration
coefficients with the new values. This may be used in place of (or in addition to) a manual hard and
soft iron calibration (
see Magnetometer Manual Calibration on page 38
) utility such as the LORD
MIP Hard and Soft Iron Calibration software, which is included in the MIP Monitor software suite
(
see Software Installation on page 12
This command also resets the auto-calibration coefficients. The Capture command should only be
executed after the vehicle has undergone a series of maneuvers typical of actual operating
conditions. These maneuvers are necessary to establish the magnetometer offset and scale factors.
For more information on the corresponding LORD Sensing MIP Data Communications Protocol
(DCP) command, see the DCP Manual .
To capture, select the sensor name in the MIP Monitor software main window, then select Settings
> Capture Auto Mag Cal > OK > OK.
