4.4. Swaying compensation
It is possible to increase the MRU accuracy at object swaying if to
compensate linear acceleration at place of the MRU mounting. For this
purpose select «

» from the
«Options»
menu (Fig.3.7) or click
button (Fig.3.1). A «
Swaying compensation
options
» dialog box (Fig.4.13) will be opened that allow you to set the lever
of the MRU mounting relative to the center of the object Swaying (usually
this is object center of gravity).
Fig.4.13
The lever must be set in the carrier object axes – on the right, forward and
up. If after the MRU mounting its axes X, Y, Z are parallel to the carrier
object lateral, longitudinal and vertical axes, then the MRU position should
be measured in the directions of the MRU X, Y and Z axes. If the MRU unit
is mounted on the object in another known position (up to upside-down,
upright etc., see Appendix E. Variants of the Inertial Labs
TM
MRU mounting
relative to the object axes), then set the MRU position just in the object axes
(on the right, forward and up directions), but not in the MRU axes.
4.5. Magnetometers calibration options (for MRU-E only)
The Inertial Labs
TM
MRU-E uses magnetometers for heading calculation.
The Inertial Labs MRU software allows compensation of influence of the
carrier object hard and soft iron on the heading angle calculation accuracy.
For this purpose, calibration of the MRU-E magnetometers is provided. It is
necessary to set group of parameters “Magnetometers field calibration”. For
this purpose select «
