2 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing PNI Sensor Corporation’s RM3000-f Evaluation Board (pn 13094).
The RM3000-f Evaluation Board is a plug-and-play version of PNI’s RM3000-f Geomagnetic
Sensor Suite, principally intended for quickly evaluating and prototyping PNI’s geomagnetic
sensor technology. The primary components of the RM3000-f Evaluation Board are two Sen-
XY-f sensor coils, one Sen-Z-f sensor coil, and PNI’s 3D MagIC ASIC controller. It also
incorporates resistors, capacitors, and connectors, all mounted on a PCB, to provide a complete
magnetic field sensing module. The SPI interface allows easy access to the module’s
measurement parameters and resulting field measurement data.
PNI’s magneto-inductive sensor technology provides superior sensitivity, low power
consumption, large signal noise immunity, a large dynamic range, and high sampling rates.
Measurements are stable over temperature and inherently free from offset drift. The RM3000-f
Evaluation Board features software-configurable sensitivity, sample rate and field measurement
range, including the ability to operate one, two, or all three PNI sensor coils. These advantages
make PNI’s RM3000-f Evaluation Board not only the choice for prototyping high volume
solutions, but also for lower volume applications that require a complete solution.
