What is magnetic deviation?
The Earth's magnetic field is distorted or deviates from normal in the presents of ferrous material. These distortions or deviations can be compensated for within magnetic compasses by calibrating them to account for this magnetic deviation.... Read More
What is magnetic variation?
The difference in direction between the magnetic North pole (magnetic North) and the direction to the Earth's rotational North pole (true North) is referred to as variation. Variation changes depending where you are on the Earth and can be obtai... Read More
How do I calibrate the SSC200 to account for magnetic deviation?
The SSC200 can be calibrated to account for magnetic deviation in several ways; please refer to the SSC200 User's Manual for instructions. It is always best to calibrate the rate of turn gyro before you perform magnetic deviation calibration on ... Read More
