Properties

Name Description
DeviceId

Gets the device identifier.
MaxBatchSize

Gets the maximum number of events that can be batched by the sensor.
MinimumReportInterval

Gets the minimum report interval supported by the magnetometer.
ReadingTransform

Gets or sets the transformation that needs to be applied to sensor data. Transformations to be applied are tied to the display orientation with which to align the sensor data.
ReportInterval

Gets or sets the current report interval for the magnetometer.
ReportLatency

Gets or sets the delay between batches of sensor information.
ReportThreshold

Gets the MagnetometerDataThreshold for the magnetometer sensor.

Methods

Name Description
FromIdAsync(String)

Asynchronously obtains the sensor from its identifier.
GetCurrentReading()

Gets the current magnetometer reading.
GetDefault()

Returns the default magnetometer.
GetDeviceSelector()

Gets the device selector.

Events

Name Description
ReadingChanged

Occurs each time the compass reports a new sensor reading.
