Description

The LPMS-USBAL3 is a high performance motion sensor in a rugged Aluminium housing with a micro USB-B port. The unit is very versatile, performing accurate, high speed orientation and displacement measurements. By the use of three different MEMS sensors (3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis magnetometer) for drift-free, high-speed orientation data around all three axes is achieved. Integrated temperature and barometric pressure sensors allow accurate altitude measurements. The LPMS-USBAL3 can be connected to a host system either via a micro USB, type B, connection. High data transfer rates allow sampling rates of up to 400Hz are possible. The widely used USB interface provides data communication allowing the LPMS-USBAL3 to suit both machine and human motion measurements allowing sensors to be connected directly to a PC, laptop or central control unit.
