Recommended practices for gyroscope and accelerometer testing are discussed, ranging from the equipment and instrumentation employed to the way that tests are carried out and data are acquired and analyzed.
Purpose
This recommended practice is intended for people who test inertial sensors and analyze the results from such testing. The general and specialized test equipment employed in such testing is described, and recommendations are made on techniques for acquisition, filtering, storage, and analysis of the test data in keeping with modern practice.
Abstract
New IEEE Standard - Active.Test equipment, data acquisition equipment, instrumentation, test facilities, and data analysis techniques used in inertial sensor testing are described in this recommended practice. An errata for this standard is available at http://standards.ieee.org/findstds/errata/1554-2005.pdf
