4. Accelerating hard from standstill to 50 km/h or above, perform two brake stops with a decel force of at least 0.5 g.
When is the calibration required?
When carrying out high dynamic tests such as braking and ESC testing, this recommended process calibrates the
Kalman filter as quickly as possible. When carrying out low dynamic tests such as driving on urban routes, or doing long
term data collection, then this calibration is not as critical.
Re-running the calibration
The Kalman filter is constantly adapting its calibration depending on the information received from GPS and the IMU.
Therefore, if the vehicle is left stationary for a long time, or the IMU is moved from its mounting position, then the
calibration procedure should be repeated if further high dynamic testing is to be carried out.
The calibration should also be repeated after anything which causes the communication to break between IMU and
VBOX, such as:
• Power cycle to either IMU or VBOX.
Note: Using an
stops the system shutting down under temporary power loss.
• ‘VBOX Setup' software is used to read IMU settings.
• 'VBOX Setup' software is used to read VBOX settings.
• Modes change using VBOX Manager.
