Sampling on Start-up
The Save Current Settings command (
see Saving Configurations on page 17
) can be used to
instruct the sensor to start streaming data as soon as it powered on. This can be useful in
sensor integration applications in which immediate data acquisition is desired. To accomplish
this, data streaming is activated with all desired settings before the Save Current Settings
command. This technique will not work in MIP Monitor because it automatically puts the sensor
in idle mode in order to allow device configuration.

Connecting to a Datalogger
Many inertial applications incorporate dataloggers, of all different types, to collect and distribute
sensor outputs. For more information and examples refer to the "Using Dataloggers with
Inertial Sensors" Technical Notes on the LORD MicroStrain

Using Wireless Adapters
In some applications it can be very useful to utilize wireless communications from the sensor to
the host computer. One way this can be accomplished by connecting the serial output of the
sensor to a serial to wireless converter, and connecting the wireless receiver to the host
computer. For more information and an example refer to the "Using RS232 Bluetooth
Adapters" Technical Notes on the LORD MicroStrain
