    2.2 Specifications The HAL 3900 is a 3D position sensor based on Hall-effect technology. The sensor includes an array of horizontal and vertical Hall plates based on TDK-Micronas’ 3D HAL technology. The Hall plate signals are first measured by two/three separate A/D-converters (one for each channel), filtered and temperature compensated.

    Joystick module (eg. 3D position and Rotational ) 3.1.2 TDK Magnetic Sensor Programmer V1.x This is the original TDK Magnetic Sensor Programmer, it can only be used in 3D Position Detection. In addition, the Joystick Module has the capapility to accommodate a biphase sensor and establish communication through the RJ25 or using the TDK micro edge card to Dsub-25 adapter board.
