Mounting Suggestions
The IMU roof mount should be mounted on a braced, stable part of the roof, such as the area over the A or B Pillar.
Care should be taken to avoid placing the mount in a half braced position, where the front or rear is on a supported part
of the roof, and the opposite end is on a flexible location. The potential pivot can induce a pitch rate oscillation that will
influence the accuracy of the results.
The IMU roof mount can be placed on a non-flat surface. When placed on a non-flat surface, the '
Pitch/Roll
Offset
' action should be used to compensate the IMU attitude angle channels (Pitch angle, roll angle). This is performed
from VBOX Manager.
Be aware that when mounting the IMU on an angle, that the raw accelerometer and gyro data will be incorrect, as the
channels are not pitch compensated.
