Magnetometer Hard Iron Offset (0x0C,0x3A)

Description

Configure the user specified magnetometer hard iron offset vector

Notes

The values for this offset are determined empirically by external software algorithms based on calibration data taken after the device is installed in its application. These values can be obtained and set by using the LORD "MIP Iron Calibration" application. Alternatively, on some systems, the auto-mag calibration feature may be used to capture these values in-run. The offset is applied to the scaled magnetometer vector prior to output.
