Radian – Miniature Attitude & Heading Reference System
Description
Radian is a miniature marine Attitude
and Heading Reference Systems
(AHRS) using a triad of modern high
quality solid state MEMS inertial and
earth magnetic field sensors.
The embedded processor allows the
real-time output of high accuracy
gyro compensated magnetic
heading, pitch, roll and related
information at high output rates to
provide the user with an optimum
orientation solution.
To correct for any local disturbances
to the magnetic field caused by a
vessels engines for example, a full
magnetic field calibration can be
carried out with easy to use software
supplied. A correction table is then
stored within the device.
The relative weighting between the
magnetic heading sensor data and
gyro data can be adjusted to enable
absolute or relative heading output,
dependent on the magnetic
environment that it is installed in. The
filter response can be adjusted to suit
different vehicle dynamics.
Radian supports RS232, 485 with a
range or proprietary or marine
industry standard serial outputs. With
the software supplied you can view
the heading, pitch, roll data in real-
time on a PC, or configure serial
outputs to other systems.
Supplied within a 300 or 3,000
metre rated underwater pressure
housing and accepting a wide range
of input voltages, Radian can be
mounted anywhere on vessels,
ROVs, AUVs and other vehicles or
structures.
Radian is compatible with
Sonardyne’s family of Scout USBL
tracking systems.
