+===== PRODUCT Specifications =====
+==== Performance Specifications (1*) ====
+^**Parameter**^^^^**Value**^
+|Heading|Accuracy|≤65° of tilt after full range calibration||<0.3° rms|
+| ::: | ::: |≤80° of tilt after full range calibration||<0.5° rms|
+| ::: | ::: |≤5° of tilt after 2D calibration||<2.0° rms|
+| ::: | ::: |≤2 times the calibration tilt angle after limited-tilt calibration (2*)||<0.2° rms|
+| ::: |Resolution|||0.1°|
+| ::: |Repeatability|||0.05° rms|
+|Tilt (Pitch & Roll)|Range|Pitch||± 90°|
+| ::: | ::: |Roll||± 180°|
+| ::: |Accuracy|Pitch||0.2° rms|
+| ::: | ::: |Roll|≤65° of pitch|0.2° rms|
+| ::: | ::: | ::: |≤80° of pitch|0.4° rms|
+| ::: | ::: | ::: |≤86° of pitch|1.0° rms|
+| ::: |Resolution|||0.01°|
+| ::: |Repeatability|||0.05° rms|
+|Maximum Operational Dip Angle (3*)||||85°|
+|Magnetometers||Calibrated Field Range||± 125 μT|
+| ::: ||Resolution||0.05 μT|
+| ::: ||Repeatability||± 0.1 μT|
+(1*) Specifications are subject to change. Assumes the TCM is motionless and the local magnetic field is clean relative to the calibration. \\
+(2*) For example, if the calibration was performed over ±10° of tilt, then the TCM would provide <2° rms accuracy over ±20° of tilt.\\
+(3*) Performance at maximum operational dip angle will be somewhat degraded.
+==== Operating Characteristics ====
+=== I/O Characteristics ===
+^Parameter^^Value^
+|Communication Interface|TCM XB|Binary RS232 UART|
+| ::: |TCM MB|Binary CMOS/TTL UART|
+|Communication Rate||300 to 115200 baud|
+|Maximum Sample Rate (1*)||≈30 samples/sec|
+|Time to Initial Good Data (2*)|Initial power up|<210 ms|
+| ::: |Sleep mode recovery|<80 ms|
+(1*) The maximum sample rate is dependent on the strength of the magnetic field, and typically will be from 25 to 32 samples/sec.\\
+(2*) FIR taps set to "0".
+=== Power Requirements ===
+^Parameter^^^Value^
+|Supply Voltage|TCM XB||3.6 to 5 VDC (unregulated)|

+|Peak Current Draw|During application of external power||120 mA pk, 60 mA avg over 2 ms|
+|:::|During logical power up/down or Sync Trigger||100 mA pk, 60 mA avg over 4 ms|
+|Sleep Mode Current Draw|||0.3 mA typical|
+=== Environmental Requirements ===
+^Parameter^Value^
+|Operating Temperature (1*)|-40C to +85C|
+|Storage Temperature|-40C to +85C|
+(1*) To meet performance specifications, recalibration may be necessary as temperature varies.
