Product catalog summary
Overview: The 3DM-GX3®-15 is a high-performance, miniature Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and Vertical Gyro that utilizes MEMS sensor technology. It integrates a triaxial accelerometer, triaxial gyro, temperature sensors, and an on-board processor with a sophisticated sensor fusion algorithm to provide both static and dynamic orientation and inertial measurements.
System Features: The unit offers fully calibrated inertial measurements such as acceleration, angular rate, deltaTheta, and deltaVelocity vectors. It also provides computed orientation estimates including Euler angles, rotation matrix, and quaternion. All measurements are temperature compensated and aligned to an orthogonal coordinate system. The system corrects for g-sensitivity and scale factor non-linearity to third order and includes coning and sculling compensation.
Starter Kit: The 3DM-GX3®-15 is available as a starter kit, which includes an IMU module, RS-232 or USB communication and power cable, software CD, user manual, and quick start guide.
Features & Benefits: The device offers precise inertial measurements, high-speed sample rate, and flexible data outputs. It is the smallest and lightest industrial IMU available, with simple integration supported by an SDK and comprehensive API. It is cost-effective, offering reduced costs and rapid time to market for applications.
Applications: The IMU is suitable for applications requiring accurate orientation and positioning under dynamic conditions, such as inertial aiding of GPS, unmanned vehicle navigation, platform stabilization, antenna and camera pointing, vehicle health monitoring, reconnaissance, surveillance, target acquisition, robotic control, and personnel tracking.
Sensor Specifications: The accelerometer has a measurement range of ±5 g, while the gyroscope has a range of ±300°/sec. The unit features low non-linearity, in-run bias stability, and noise density. User-adjustable bandwidth and sampling rates are provided.
IMU Specifications: The unit supports a full 360° attitude heading range, with standard accelerometer and gyroscope ranges. It offers static and dynamic accuracy, long-term drift elimination, and high repeatability and resolution. Data output rates can reach up to 1000 Hz.
General Specifications: The device includes a 16-bit A/D resolution, USB 2.0 or RS232 interface options, and operates within a power supply voltage range of +3.2 to +16 volts DC. It is ROHS compliant, with a shock limit of 500 g, and operates in temperatures from -40° C to +70° C. The dimensions are 44 mm x 24 mm x 11 mm, and it weighs 18 grams.
Software: The starter kit includes a software utility CD compatible with XP/Vista/Win7, and a software development kit (SDK) with complete data communications protocol and sample code.

LORD PRODUCT DATASHEET Miniature Inertial Measurement Unit And Vertical Gyro The 3DM-GX3® -15 is a high-performance, miniature Inertial Measurement Unit and Vertical Gyro, utilizing MEMS sensor technology. It combines a triaxial accelerometer, triaxial gyro, temperature sensors, and an on-board processor running a sophisticated sensor fusion algorithm to provide static and dynamic orientation, and inertial measurements. Features & Benefits System Overview • precise inertial measurements • high-speed sample rate & flexible data outputs • high performance under vibration • smallest, lightest industrial IMU available • simple integration supported by SDK and comprehensive API Cost Effective • reduced cost and rapid time to market for customer's • aggressive volume discount schedule Accurate orientation and positioning under dynamic conditions such as: • Unmanned Vehicle Navigation • Platform Stabilization, Artificial Horizon • Antenna and Camera Pointing • Health and Usage Monitoring of Vehicles • Reconnaissance, Surveillance, and Target Acquisition • Robotic Control • Personnel Tracking The 3DM-GX3® -15 offers a range of fully calibrated inertial measurements including acceleration, angular rate, deltaTheta, and deltaVelocity vectors. It can also output computed orientation estimates including Euler angles (pitch and roll), rotation matrix and quaternion. All quantities are fully temperature compensated and are mathematically aligned to an orthogonal coordinate system. The angular rate quantities are further corrected for g-sensitivity and scale factor non-linearity to third order. The 3DM-GX3® -15 architecture has been carefully designed to substantially eliminate common sources of error such as sensitivity to supply voltage variations. On-board coning and sculling compensation allows for use of lower data output rates while maintaining performance of a fast internal sampling rate. The 3DM-GX3® -15 is initially sold as a starter kit consisting of an IMU module, RS-232 or USB communication and power cable, software CD, user manual, and quick start guide. calibration data user settable Silver Level Winner SENSING SYSTEMS
