-==== 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 ==== 
-^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".
