How are the tilt measurements and magnetic compass heading measurements affected by dynamic motion and vibration?

0

Most compasses measure the gravitation of the Earth to determine the horizontal plane. This measurement is important in calculating an accurate magnetic heading. Accelerometers by nature are motion sensitive. Sparton digital compasses are affected by dynamic motion and vibration. Our compasses have been configured with user-selectable digital filtering to reduce these effects, but this can also decrease the responsiveness of the compass. Sparton digital compasses have been designed to be more tolerant of motion-induced errors by how they process the magnetic and acceleration data.
