Magnetometer heading sensor (MHS)

The MHS is a stand-alone microprocessor-based unit that provides digital heading data, output in ARINC 429 format (low speed standard, high speed optional).  Accurate digital output of heading replaces fluxgate compasses and enables easier interfacing with modern aircraft systems and displays. The MHS is housed in a non-magnetic case and is compatible with existing fluxgate sensor installations.
