Abstract :
A method, instrumentation used and results of calibration and testing of tri-axial magnetometers, accelerometers and also possibly gyroscopes are presented. The method is based on a scalar calibration technique with the use of an innovative computer controllable non-magnetic platform. The speed, precision, comfort and repeatability of the measurement are superior to techniques which use hand-driven tools.
