Product Description

The MicroStrain 3DM-GV7 is a tactical-grade Inertial Navigation System (INS) in a miniature package. The flexible EKF can accept external aiding measurements to maintain a robust navigation solution during GNSS outages and touts a feature set designed specifically for the timing requirements of the robotics and autonomous vehicle industries. It is tested to an IP68 rating.

 

Key features

  • IP68-rated enclosure
  • An adaptive Estimation Filter (EKF) for sensor fusion
  • Tactical-grade gyro
  • User-adjustable sensor ranges (gyro and accelerometer)
  • Integrated magnetometer for accurate heading tracking (AHRS only)
  • INS with a flexible, adaptive EKF designed for demanding navigation applications
  • Fully temperature-compensated, tactical-grade IMU, mathematically-aligned to an orthogonal coordinate system
  • Multiple external aiding measurements accepted for improved GNSS-denied performance
  • 5 Reference Frame configurations for simplified external aiding sensor input
  • NMEA input over GPIO simplifies external GNSS input using a single GPIO line
  • High-rate GNSS input for improved low speed position accuracy
  • PPS input/output and external clock synchronization for precision time alignment with external devices
  • Event triggering system and low latency data

 

Internal sensors

  • 3-axis accelerometer
  • 3-axis gyroscope
  • 3-axis magnetometer (AHRS and INS only)
  • Pressure altimeter (AHRS and INS only)
