Sensor Frame
The sensor frame is indicated on the top of the device and is oriented such that the x-axis vector is
parallel with the long side of the sensor and points toward the sensor connector, the y-axis is 90° to
the right of the x-axis, and the z-axis goes through the bottom of the sensor (outward). These axes
were selected so that when the connector on the device is pointed north and the device is upright
and level, the sensor frame will match the NED frame exactly, giving zero rotation.
The 3DM-GX5-10 reports acceleration, angular rate, delta-theta, and delta-velocity in this frame.
Refer to the 3DM-GX5-10 dimensional diagram for the location of the measurement origin (
).
