Gyroscope Bias
Gyroscope biases (offsets) can be zeroed out to set a baseline value for the static home position and
conditions in the application. This should be done after sensor installation.
To set the gyroscope baseline, place the sensor or sensor platform in the desired home position. Allow
2-3 minutes for the sensor to warm up and for the temperature to stabilize for the best bias capture.
Select Settings > Capture Gyro Bias (
). The sensor must remain
stationary for about twenty seconds while the outputs are being measured. A status message will
appear when the capture has been completed.
