Section 5.4: XY Sensor Board, Testing

IMU with XY board movement on all sensors
With the XY Sensor board oriented so that the ribbon cable header is pointed towards the rear, your axes will map the same as the IMU tab of the IMU Viewer software. When you move the board, your movements will be reflected on the screen of the IMU tab. This tab will show the movements versus time using strip chart style graph. Clicking on the 0 button will recenter the strip chart.

Note: The graph data is very low-resolution and is NOT indicative of the quality of data being generated by the IMU. The graph is less than 10% of the resolution of the data presented by the IMU.

You will also see the IMU data on the ADC tab. This tab displays the raw data values along with a horizontal bar to visualize the value. The bar uses dynamic calibration. This means that the extents of the bar are automatically adjusted by the incoming data. Therefore, you will need to move the sensors near their full range to approach a full and proportional dislay.
