Question number FAQ-0035

Is the installation position of the optional small IMU good at the vehicle's center of gravity?

The optional small IMU allows for measurement outputs of XYZ acceleration, angle, and angular velocity.
Since the measurement origin of the LC-8300 is the IMU, if it is installed at the center of gravity, the acceleration, angular velocity, and angle at that position will be output.
Therefore, when installed at the center of gravity, the acceleration, angle, and angular velocity of the vehicle itself will be output.
From the perspective of speed and distance measurement, placing the IMU and antenna at the same vertical position will improve accuracy.
