The FAS-A® Inclinometer is designed to provide 1 and 2-axis static and quasi-dynamic orientation measurements. It incorporates 3 accelerometers together with an on-board microprocessor, embedded software algorithm, non-volatile memory for configuration, and serial communication interface. Its form-factor, rated temperature range and power supply requirements are optimized for a broad array of applications. The FAS-A® outputs either one 360° roll axis or two +/-70° pitch and roll axes.
Datasheet ManualThe 3DM-GX3® -15 is a high-performance, miniature Inertial Measurement Unit and Vertical Gyro, utilizing MEMS sensor technology. It combines a triaxial accelerometer, triaxial gyro, temperature sensors, and an on-board processor running a sophisticated sensor fusion algorithm to provide static and dynamic orientation, and inertial measurements.
Datasheet Manual
Inertia-Link® is a high-performance Inertial Measurement Unit and Vertical Gyro utilizing miniature MEMS sensor technology. It combines a triaxial accelerometer, triaxial gyro, temperature sensors, and an on-board processor running a sophisticated sensor fusion algorithm.
Inertia-Link® offers a range of output data quantities from fully calibrated inertial measurements (acceleration & angular rate or deltaAngle & deltaVelocity vectors) to computed orientation estimates (pitch & roll or rotation matrix). All quantities are fully temperature compensated and corrected for sensor misalignment. The angular rate quantities are further corrected for G-sensitivity and scale factor non-linearity to third order.
Inertia-Link's communications interface hardware is contained in a separable module, and can therefore be easily customized. Currently available interface modules include USB 2.0, RS232 and RS422. An OEM version is available without the communications interface enabling the sensor to be integrated directly into a host system's circuitboard, providing a very compact sensing solution.
The 3DM-GX2® Software Development Kit (SDK) provides application builders with robust protocols and source code samples to operate the Inertia-Link® and 3DM-GX2® orientation sensors. The SDK includes a complete Data Communications Protocol manual, a detailed Users manual, ANSI C Implementation and API. Sample applications demonstrating many protocol commands are provided with fully-commented source code for Microsoft® Visual Studio C++ 2003/2008 Express, LabVIEW® 7.1.1, Microsoft® Visual Studio Visual Basic 2005 and Microsoft® Visual Basic 6.0.

Datasheet Manual3DM-GX2® is a high-performance gyro enhanced orientation sensor which utilizes miniature MEMS sensor technology. It combines a triaxial accelerometer, triaxial gyro, triaxial magnetometer, temperature sensors, and an on-board processor running a sophisticated sensor fusion algorithm.
3DM-GX2® offers a range of output data quantities from fully calibrated inertial measurements (acceleration, angular rate and magnetic field or deltaAngle & deltaVelocity vectors) to computed orientation estimates (pitch & roll or rotation matrix). All quantities are fully temperature compensated and corrected for sensor misalignment. The angular rate quantities are further corrected for G-sensitivity and scale factor non-linearity to third order.
3DM-GX2®'s communications interface hardware is contained in a separable module, and can therefore be easily customized. Currently available interface modules include a wireless transceiver, USB 2.0, RS232 and RS422. An OEM version is available without the communications interface enabling the sensor to be integrated directly into a host system's circuitboard, providing a very compact sensing solution.
The system architecture has been carefully designed to substantially eliminate common sources of error such as hysteresis induced by temperature changes and sensitivity to supply voltage variations. The use of six independent Delta-Sigma A/D converters (one for each sensor) ensures that all sensors are sampled simultaneously, and that the best possible time integration results are achieved. On-board coning and sculling compensation allows for use of lower data output rates while maintaining performance of a fast internal sampling rate. 3DM-GX2® incorporates an integral triaxial magnetometer; optionally, the magnetometer can be located remotely to reduce hard and soft iron interference.
The 3DM-GX2® Software Development Kit (SDK) provides application builders with robust protocols and source code samples to operate the Inertia-Link® and 3DM-GX2® orientation sensors. The SDK includes a complete Data Communications Protocol manual, a detailed Users manual, ANSI C Implementation and API.

Datasheet Manual
3DM-GX1® combines three angular rate gyros with three orthogonal DC accelerometers, three orthogonal magnetometers, multiplexer, 16 bit A/D converter, and embedded microcontroller, to output its orientation in dynamic and static environments.
Operating over the full 360 degrees of angular motion on all three axes, 3DM-GX1® provides orientation in matrix, quaternion and Euler formats. The digital serial output can also provide temperature compensated, calibrated data from all nine orthogonal sensors at update rates of 350 Hz.
Networks of 3DM-GX1® nodes can be deployed by using the built-in RS-485 network protocol. Embedded microcontrollers relieve the host system from the burden of orientation calculations, allowing deployment of dozens of 3DM-GX1® nodes with no significant decrease in system throughput.
Output modes and software filter parameters are user programmable. Programmed parameters and calibration data are stored in nonvolatile memory.

Datasheet ManualThe 3DM-GX3® -45 high-performance, miniature GPS-Aided Inertial Navigation System (GPS/INS) combines MEMS inertial sensors, a highly-sensitive embedded GPS receiver, and a complex Extended Kalman Filter to generate optimal position, velocity, and attitude (PVA) estimates. This combination of technologies creates better short-term GPS-out performance, sustained-G attitude performance, and provides higher rate PVA data than typical GPS and AHRS sensors. Raw GPS data, IMU data, and filtered INS data are time-aligned and available as user-defined packets (either by polling or continuous stream).
