CXM543
The CXM543 Orientation Sensor is
designed to measure the orientation
(roll, inclination, and azimuth angles)
of a platform or vehicle to which it is
attached. The CXM543 determines
the inclination and roll angles by
using a 3-axis micro-machined
accelerometer to measure the
direction of earth’s gravity. The
azimuth angle is determined by
measuring the earth’s magnetic
field using a 3-axis magnetometer
subsystem.
The CXM543 employs a high-speed
serial digital output for transmitting
data. Both RS-232 and TTL level
interfaces are present. Baud rate is
user selectable over the range 300
baud to 72,800 baud.
The CXM543 can be configured to
operate in either a command (polled)
mode (where an external computer
requests data) or an auto send
(continuous) mode (where data is
automatically sent repeatedly after

power up). Output data can be set to
ASCII format (ideal when using a PC)
or in binary format (more suited to a
microprocessor interface).
The CXM543 can be configured to
output either orientation angle data
(roll, inclination, and azimuth) or
sensor data (AX, AY, AZ, MX, MY,
MZ). When used in orientation mode,
the accuracy of the transmitted
angles is ± 1.5° for azimuth and
±0.5° for roll and inclination. Angular
resolution is better than ± 0.1°.
When used as a gravity sensor,
accuracy is ±15 mg and resolution is
better than 1 mg. As a magnetic
field sensor, the CXM543 fluxgate
magnetometers have an accuracy of
±0.1µT and a resolution of ±0.005 µT.

A Windows compatible program is
available with the CXM543 to
enable system configuration (e.g.,
baud rate, sample rate, mode, etc.),
data acquisition, and display.
