Magnetometer calibration from 0 to 90 degrees

Question

Hi, 
 I would like to know if it is possible to perform a calibration (Hard Iron and Soft Iron) of the values read from the magnetometer by just shifting it from 0 to 90 degrees. 
 We are running some simulations for project development for applications with displacement from 0 to 360 degrees and displacement from 0 to 90 degrees. 
 
 The article below helped us a lot in getting the sensor to work by shifting it from 0 to 360 degrees. 
 FAQ: Hard & Soft Iron Correction for Magnetometer Measurements 
 
 Could you please help us by indicating a way to obtain the calibration of the magnetometer sensor by performing a displacement from 0 to 90 degrees? 
 
 Thank you! 
 
 Regards 
 Tiago Fernandes

Thank you for your post. I am glad that the original document was useful. I suspect that some value may come from only 25% of the rotation, but that would seem to make it difficult to separate the error sources, properly. I will keep my eyes open, for any new ideas, but for now, I am not familiar with any techniques that have been published, with this constraint. Sorry I can't be more help.)
