PNI Sensor Corporation Product Overview - Modules June 2011 1
About PNI Sensor Corporation We make the highest performance Magnetic Sensor Over 100 million instances of PNI’s sensors are deployed worldwide in combination with licensees Sensor design and production experience We leverage our sensor’s performance and our mastery of complex magnetic fields to create high accuracy, reliablecompass and motion tracking hardware and software. 20+ years of expertise in solving real world magnetic anomalies Robust Kalman filtering algorithms Expertise in sensor fusion/integration and testing 2
How is PNI’s technology different? All of PNI’s products are based on Magneto-Inductive (MI) sensor technology. The advantages of MI over other magnetic sensing technologies include: • Low power consumption • Highly immune to electrical noise • No drift or hysteresis • Largest dynamic range • Low latency Developed specifically for compassing and motion tracking 3
PNI products are market and application-specific For government and industrial applications where precise heading in the field is required. Robotics, Targeting, Research, Homeland Security • FieldForce TCMs and AHRS • TargetPoint DMC • CompassPoint compass modules For consumer applications such as motion tracking, pointing, and personal navigation. Gaming, TV/remote controllers, mobile handsets, watches. • SpacePoint 9-Axis Sensor System • Reference Magnetic Sensors 4
PNI Compass Modules and AHRS Complete compass modules designed for government, military, and industrial applications. Products measure from 2 – 9 axes: • Trax AHRS • full 9 axes of measurement (mag, accel, gyro) • FieldForce TCM • 6 axes (mag and accel) • TargetPoint DMC • ruggedized, mil-qualified DMC for targeting and range finding • CompassPoint Compass Modules 5
FieldForce Trax AHRS New The new FieldForce Trax AHRS module providesunparalleled heading accuracy when static and while moving through magnetic distortion. • Trax employs a patented Kalman filtering algorithm that intelligently fuses PNI's patented Reference Magnetic Sensors with gyros and accelerometers to overcome errors due to erratic motion and changes in the local magnetic field. • Unparalleled static accuracy of .5° rms and dynamic accuracy of 2.0°rms • Trax is priced for commercial use - delivering more reliable heading than AHRS modules that cost twice as much. 6
FieldForce TCMs High-performance, low power consumption, tilt-compensated 3-axis electronic compass modules that provide industry-leading heading accuracy. Ideal for applications that require consistency and accuracy in the field • Reliable, pinpoint-accurate pitch, roll and compass heading to .3° rms • Incorporates magnetic distortion compensation • Four user-selectable calibration modes, as well as the ability to recalibrate the accelerometers to ensure long-term accuracy • Available in two different footprints and interfaces for easy integration 7
CompassPoint Modules Cost-effective, low-power compass modules for cost-sensitive products that historically could not justify such well-featured digital compasses Prime • low cost, high-performing 3-Axiscompass module • eliminates the time and expense of building a compass from scratch • 1° heading accuracy, 0.1° heading resolution V2Xe • full-featured 2-Axis compass module • 1° heading accuracy, 0.01° heading resolution when level 8
TargetPoint DMC New TargetPoint DMC is a military qualified* digital magnetic compass that offers high accuracy at a lower price than existing DMCs • American Made • Field Tested • Backed by American product support *Mil-qualified as part of the STORM laser range finder 9
