Problem
Possible cause and recommended solution
Sensing for reconfiguration.
2.5 sensor or cables are damaged
Verify all connections, power, and settings. If available, try
installing an alternate cable or sensor one at a time to see if the
faulty device can be identified. If no conclusion can be
determined, or to send a device in for repair, contact LORD
Sensing Technical Support (
).
3. DATA ACQUISITION
sensor data is missing
or incorrect
3.1 sampling settings are incorrect
If unexpected measurements or sampling rates are displayed
or recorded, enter the Device Settings menu and verify the
sampling settings.
3.2 streaming has not started
If data streaming is occurring the sensor device status indicator
will also be flashing to indicate sampling. In MIP Monitor the
device status information field will indicate Streaming. If the
sensor is not streaming data, activate it in the software.
3.3 sensor data not recorded
Verify data recording has been activated. In MIP Monitor the
device status information field will indicate Recording Data. If
the sensor isn't recording, activate in the software. Verify
specific measurements have been enabled for sampling and
recording.
NOTE: Data is recorded in time sequence. If measurements
are set to different sample rates, not all time intervals will
include a reading from each output that is being recorded.
3.4 sensor data recorded in binary format
When data recording is started the user can choose between
CSV and Binary output formats. If the data is recorded in
Binary format it will require a translation program that utilizes
the LORD Sensing MIP Data Communications Protocol (DCP)
to make it readable.
3.5 sensor is damaged
With the sensor in a static neutral position data, look for
baseline offset or drift on the IMU sensor outputs. Sensor
damage can occur as a result of excessive g- force other
conditions outside of its operating specifications.
