| Pulsed
DC magnetic tracking |
- Virtually no line of
sight restrictions.
- Five times less susceptible
to distortion caused by
nearby metal than AC technology.
|
| Dedicated
processor for each sensor |
- Highest measurement rates
regardless of number of
sensors tracked.
|
| Multiple
configurations |
- Track up to 4 sensors
in real time.
|
| Small
chassis with built-in power
supply |
- Compact design takes
up minimal room on desktop.
|
| Installation
CD |
- Fast set up with plug-and-play
capability.
