As discussed in Design Considerations, the 45° alignment option dramatically reduces the need to adjust sensitivity gain by inherently matching the input magnitude observed for each axis. Some sensitivity mismatch may still be present, which might require minor adjustment.
This alignment was tested in the in-plane alignment at an identical range to the previous results. This alignment cannot use the CORDIC outputs from TMAG5170, given that it requires adjustment to the arctangent calculations to produce a useful result.
The resulting pre-calibrated error after performing phase correction is captured for this alignment and shown in 45° Angle Alignment Mechanical Angle Error
