Magnetic Sensor Calibration Guide
Magnetometer calibration is a process to correct for the environmental impact on the magnetometer.
This is important because the magnetometer is sensitive to magnetic fields, and even small changes in
the environment can affect its readings.
Calibration procedure
The calibration procedure for CTi Sensor devices, CS-100 and CS-200, is as follows:
1. Download the latest CTi-Sensor-Connect (CSC) software from the following link:
https://ctisensors.com/Software/CTiSensorConnect-0.13.0-amd64.msi
2. Install CSC.
3. Run CSC.
4. Select ASCII IMU data format and a data rate of 20 Hz.
5. Place the device and all associated parts/modules/systems in a magnetically clean area. (The
system will need to be rotated in later steps.)
6.
Select "Magnetometer Calibration" from the "Tool" menu bar.
