Software Release 2.1.3 - 9 Sept 2024
Overview¶
IMX-5 (IMU, AHRS, and GPS-INS)¶
The IMX-5™ is a 10-DOF sensor module consisting of a tactical grade Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), magnetometer, and barometer. Output includes angular rate, linear acceleration, magnetic vector, and barometric pressure and altitude. IMU calibration consists of bias, scale factor, cross-axis alignment, and temperature compensation. The IMX-5 includes Attitude Heading Reference System (AHRS) sensor fusion to estimate roll, pitch, and heading. Adding GNSS input to the IMX-5 enables onboard Inertial Navigation System (INS) sensor fusion for roll, pitch, heading, velocity, and position.
The RUG-3-IMX-5™ series adds a rugged aluminum enclosure and RS232, RS485, and CAN bus to the IMX-5.
The RUG-3-IMX-5-RTK™ includes a multi-frequency GNSS receiver with RTK precision position enabling INS sensor fusion for roll, pitch, heading, velocity, and position.
The RUG-3-IMX-5-Dual™ includes two multi-frequency GNSS receivers with RTK precision position and dual GNSS heading/compass.
The Inertial Sense SDK is an open-source software development kit for quick integration to configure and communicate with Inertial Sense products. The SDK includes data logger, math libraries, and interface for Linux, Windows, and embedded platforms.
