Inclinometers and Orientation Sensors 3DM-GX1® - 1

3DM-GX1ή combines three angular rate gyros with three orthogonal DC accelerometers, three orthogonal magnetometers, multiplexer, 16 bit A/D converter, and embedded microcontroller to output its orientation in dynamic and static environments.Operating over the full 360 degrees of angular motion on all three axes, 3DM-GX1provides orientation in matrix, quaternion, and Euler formats. The digital serial output can also provide temperature compensated, calibrated data from all nine orthogonal sensors at update rates of 350 Hz.Networks of 3DM-GX1ή nodes can be deployed by using the built-in RS-485 network protocol. Embedded microcontrollers relieve the host system from the burden of orientation calculations, allowing deployment of dozens of 3DM-GX1 nodes with no signifi cant decrease in system throughput.Output modes and software fi lter parameters are user programmable. Programmed parameters and calibration data are stored in nonvolatile memory.
