B.4 Leveled Accelerometer Test
After successful initialization, place the sensor on a level surface, and observe the pitch and roll
displacement signals as well as acceleration outputs.
The Forward, Lateral and Vertical outputs should correspond to the X, Y and Z outputs to within
the accuracy of the sensor.
Set the sensor at a 45° angle to the horizontal in pitch only, taking care not to move the sensor at an
angular rate of more than 100 °/sec.
The Forward, Lateral and Vertical Acceleration outputs should not change from the values at level
by more than the accuracy of the sensor.
Move the sensor through a further 45 degrees in pitch such that the baseplate is now vertical, again
taking care not to exceed the 100 °/sec limit. The sensor should then be rotated about the vertical
and the Yaw output will respond accordingly.
The test should then be repeated for the Roll axis.
