Magnetic Filter
#MFL
The MFL command sets and reads the Magnetic Filter setting. When the Split Filter bit is cleared, this parameter
value will default to the value of SFL, the system filter. When the Split Filter bit is set, MFL parameter setting will
control the Magnetic Filter value. The parameter input is saved in the EEPROM immediately. Requires power
cycling or a Reset command (*R) to become effective. Values between 0 and 255 are valid, with a factory default
of 3. A good reason to increase the magnetic filter value would be the presence of AC magnetic fields from
nearby conductors or motors.
Eg: #SFL=0<cr><lf> Sets the magnetic filter value of zero (no filtering).
Configuration
#CON?
This command queries for the configuration status of the compass module. The output of the configuration value
is in decimal representation (in ASCII format) of the two byte configuration status. The 16-bit binary pattern is
defined below.

Effect
Magnetic Sensor Output Sentence selected (X, Y, Z)
Heading Output Sentence selected (H, P, R)
Device temperature has fallen below -10 C during this session of
operation. Rezero pitch and roll to clear after low temp.
Device temperature has fallen below -20 C during this session of
operation. Rezero pitch and roll to clear after low temp.
Independent Filter values for Magnetic and Tilt are used
Eg: #CON? Returns a response of #D=2088<cr><lf> meaning same filters used for magnetic and tilt data (bit 10
clear) and the compass module is sending heading data (bit 3 set).
Command Responses
These are compass module generated responses to commands issued by the host processor. These responses follow in
format to the commands issued.
#Dxxx<cr><lf>
Returns numeric data requested in decimal format.
#I<cr><lf>
Invalid command response. Response to any invalid command.
SPI Interface
SPI operating Mode is as follows:
SCK idles low (mode CKP=0, CKE=0)
Data Output after falling edge of SCK
Data sampled before rising edge of SCK
