Accuracy |
Pitch: ±0.93 degree typical (yaw from 0 - 360 degrees & roll=0 degrees) |
Roll: ±0.33 degree typical (yaw from 0 - 360 degrees & pitch =0 degrees) |
Yaw: ±1.0 degrees typical (pitch & roll=0 degrees) |
Accuracy is defined as the square root of the sum of the errors squared (non repeatability, temperature coefficients & nonlinearity) |
Angle measurement nonlinearity (pitch & roll) |
±0.23% F.S. |
Angle measurement repeatability |
Pitch: 0.07 degrees (typical) |
Roll: 0.07 degrees (typical) |
Yaw: 0.26 degrees (typical) |
