PC104 Control Environment Development and Use for Testing the Dynamic Accuracy of the MicroStrain 3DM-GX1 Sensor

Abstract

There is a need for a standard, accurate test bench for inertia-based orientation sensors. Static accuracy testing of these sensors is straightforward but dynamic accuracy testing is more difficult. A test bench system is developed with encoders and a PC104 computer under the QNX Neutrino real-time operating system. A MicroStrain 3DMGX1 inertial sensor was used as the sensor to be tested. The dynamic error of this sensor was accurately recorded and found to be a function of the sensor velocity and acceleration.
