When working with Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs), fine-tuning the device’s settings is essential for achieving optimal performance tailored to your specific application. The IMU Graphical User Interface (GUI) provides an intuitive platform to adjust critical parameters such as the Baud Rate, Data Rate, and Low-Pass Filter (LPF).
This guide walks you through the steps to:
- Adjust the Baud Rate to optimize IMU and host system communication.
- Configure the Data Rate, which determines how frequently the IMU outputs data.
- Modify the Low-Pass Filter (LPF) settings to manage signal noise and enhance measurement stability.
By mastering these adjustments, you can enhance the accuracy, reliability, and responsiveness of your IMU, ensuring it meets the demands of your application with precision. Let’s get started!
Changing the Baud rate:
- After connecting IMU, open the GUI;
- Click on “Test Options.”
- After selecting the IMU from the correct “Serial Port” from the dropdown menu, select the desired “Baud rate” from the dropdown menu, then click “ok.”
Changing Data rate:
- Click on “Device Options”.
- Change the “Data Rate” to the desired frequency and select “OK.”
Adjusting the Low Path Filter (LPF):
- Click on “Sensor Options.”
- Select the desired frequency from the dropdown menu for “LPF Bandwidth” and click “OK.”
