Question Is an RMI the same as a Remote Indicating Compass ?

Sorry for asking a silly question, but as the saying goes, it’s better to ask a stupid question than make a stupid mistake. So..After flying the big jets for the last 30 years I’m trying to fly light aircraft again. I’ve been flying the big jets on my EASA ATPL and now I’m trying to get my Aussie Licences back into currency, including renewing my Aussie Instrument Rating. It’s no simple task.I’ve always known an RMI to be a directional gyro slaved to a flux valve so that it always accurately points North.But the Aussie Civil Aviation Orders don’t talk about RMIs.They talk about Remote Indicating Compass.Are they the same thing ? Cheers,
