5.4 IMU Sensor Calibration
All of the internal sensors in the 3DM-CX5-10 are calibrated when the device is manufactured,
and the calibration values are saved in the device memory. Recalibration is not required
unless the device has been under conditions that exceed the operating specifications. For
example, if the sensor has been exposed to excessive shock beyond the rated g-force,
performance may be compromised. Indications of internal sensor damage may be seen as
excessive measurement offsets or drift when the sensor is in a neutral motionless position.
5.5 Temperature Compensation
All sensor conversion and calibration formulas include temperature compensation. All
computed outputs and IMU sensor outputs are automatically adjusted for local temperature.
5.6 Import and Export Settings
The import and export settings features provide a consolidated file of the user settings,
enabling Device Settings information to be saved and shared. For example, exporting settings
to the LORD technical support team helps facilitate fast and accurate resolution of technical
issues.
To import the sensor settings, select the sensor name in the MIP Monitor software main
window, then select Settings > Import Settings, then follow the prompt to choose where the file
will be saved and name the file.
To export the sensor settings, select the sensor name in the MIP Monitor software main
window, then select Settings > Export Settings, then follow the prompt to choose where the
file will be saved, and select OK. The file will be named by default using the sensor name,
serial number, date and time.
