4.2.1. “IMU” tab
There are options for the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). You can check or
set the following parameters in the
“IMU”
tab of the «Devices Options»
window Fig.4.2:
IMU type
shows type of IMU inside the MRU unit. This parameter
cannot be changed.
COM Port bps
– sets baud rate of the MRU COM port (see section
“4.2.3. Change of the COM port baud rate” for details). Default value is set to
115200 bps.
Measurement rate (Hz)
– sets data measurement rate in Hertz.
Minimal value of the parameter is 1, maximal value is 200; it is changed with
the arrows to 10 or by entering the required value from a keyboard. Default
value is set to 100.
Important note:
the maximum measurement rate is limited by chosen baud rate of the
COM port which the MRU unit is connected to, and also it depends on chosen output
data format (see Fig.4.1) because of different number of transferred bytes. See section
“4.2.4. Limitation of the MRU maximum measurement rate” for details.
Initial alignment time (sec)
– sets the initial alignment time in
seconds. The MRU output data will be displayed in its respective windows
only after the time set in this parameter is over. During initial alignment the
MRU must be absolutely stationary relative to the Earth. Minimum value of
the parameter is 1 and it can be changed to 1 with arrows or by entering
the necessary value from a keyboard. Default value is set to 30.
Extended Initial alignment data
checkbox specifies format of block
of the initial alignment data. If checkbox is set then MRU outputs extended
initial alignment block after initial alignment is complete. This parameter can
be changed after agreement with developer.
IMU s/n
– specifies the serial number of the IMU inside the MRU
unit. This parameter cannot be changed.
MRU s/n
– specifies the serial number of the MRU in use. This
parameter cannot be changed.
