[QUOTE="BudWalker, post: 37191, member: 787"] That's the MagData Player you're referring to. There is a some documentation [URL]https://datfile.net/Doc/MagDataPlayer.pdf[/URL] The MagData Player can be described as an unfinished science fair project. To most people it's just eye candy, but, it's good eye candy. Used properly it can be used to determine if the compass is calibrated correctly. It's intended to be used as a research tool. It has little or no value when analyzing an incident. It's difficult to do the extended compass dance described in the documentation. During the dance magnetometer data is taken for each orientation seen and there 2562 possible orientations. It's difficult to cover all or most of those 2652 orientations. Usually you end up with something like this [ATTACH=full]3800[/ATTACH] and not something like this. [ATTACH=full]3802[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
