Features & Benefits
Best in Class Performance
- Fully calibrated, temperature-compensated, and mathematically-aligned to an orthogonal coordinate system for highly accurate outputs
- Bias tracking, error estimation, threshold flags, and adaptive noise modeling allow for fine tuning to conditions in each application
- High-performance, low-drift gyros with noise density of 0.005°/sec/√Hz and VRE of 0.001°/s/g2RMS
- Accelerometer noise as low as 25 ug/√Hz
Ease of Use
- User-defined sensor-to-vehicle frame transformation
- Common protocol between 3DM-GX3, GX4, RQ1, GQ4, GX5, and CV5
- Robust, forward compatible MIP packet protocol
Cost Effective
- Out-of-the box solution reduces development time
- Volume discounts
