| ABTEL is proud to introduce a line of Solid State Gyro and Orientation Sensors. Based on technology, developed at NASA, these accurate products are smarter, tougher, smaller and a lot less in cost then what was available to date. ABTEL represents an alternative for to better products for today and tomorrow. |

| The PRC1 The PRC1-ROV is a microminiature 3-axis orientation sensor capable of measuring: ± 180 degrees of yaw heading, ± 180 degrees of pitch, and ± 70 degrees of roll. Orthogonal arrays of magnetometers and accelerometers are used to compute the pitch, roll and yaw angles over a wide angular range. The Windows® software provided communicates with the PRC1-ROV over a serial port. The software gives the user complete control over how data is processed, presented, and logged. The output may be programmed to provide raw magnetic field and accelerometer outputs, or processed pitch, roll, and yaw outputs. User programmed digital filters are used to process sensor data either statically or dynamically, depending on the change in PRC1-ROV movement over time. A calibration feature is provided to adjust for minor errors in mounting. PRC1-ROV can be used alone or combined in networked arrays. |

| The PRC2 The PRC-2 Gyro combines three angular rate gyros with three orthogonal DC accelerometers, three orthogonal magnetometers, multiplexer, 16 bit A/D converter, and embedded micro-controller, to output its orientation in dynamic and static environments. Operating over the full 360 degrees of angular motion on all three axes, PRC-2 provides orientation in matrix, quarternion and Euler formats. The digital serial output can also provide temperature compensated, calibrated data from all nine orthodgonal sensors at update rates of 350 Hz. Output modes and software filter parameters are user programmable. Programmed parameters and calibration data are stored in nonvolatile memory. How It Works The PRC-2 Gyro utilizes the triaxial gyros to track dynamic orientation and the triaxial DC accelerometers along with the triaxial DC accelerometers along with the triaxial magnetometers to track static orientation. The embedded microprocessor contains a unique programmable filter algorithm, which blends these static and dynamic responses in real-time. This provides a fast response in the face of vibration and quick movements, while eliminating drift. The stabilized output is provided in an easy to use digital format. Analog output voltages proportional to the Euler angles can be ordered as an option. Full temperature compensation is provided for all nine orthogonal sensors to insure performance over a wide operating temperature range. |
