Angular Sensors - standing
The MicroStrain®
FAS-G inclinometer combines an angular rate gyro with two orthogonal
DC accelerometers, 12 bit A/D converter, multiplexer, microcontroller,
and D/A converter to provide an analog voltage linearly proportional to
inclination in dynamic and static environments.
Operating over the full 360 degrees of angular motion, FAS-G is versatile
by design. The additional digital serial output can be programmed to provide
either compensated angles or raw sensor data. The digital output modes
and software filter parameters are user programmable. All programmed parameters
are stored in nonvolatile memory.
