Lance Model 4841 Accelerometer Drift Phenomena.

Abstract

This report traces the steps and discusses the rationale associated with the LANCE 4841 accelerometer drift problem from its initial discovery through the investigation phase, fix, and subsequent requalification program. Initial drift rates as high as 1 millivolt per minute were experienced. Various experiments were conducted in an effort to identify the drift problem. Once the problem was identified, a fix was arrived at which allowed field units to be corrected without any requirement for disassembling the accelerometer.
