DOG1 MEMS-Series USB – Position Sensor

Description: The Single Axis Inclinometer is well suited for test and measurement purposes as well as for vehicle and off road applications. A fast response time, good accuracy and high resolution are its key features. It uses a digital signal processing including temperature compensation to optimize performance. The user configurable filter allows to find a good compromise between response time and a stable output in noisy environments, e.g. if vibrations are an issue. Easy to use software for Microsoft Windows is included. On the other hand, the sensor can be accessed using a virtual COM port for easy integration.

Features:

  • USB powered
  • User defined main and secondary axis
  • ±180° single axis
  • Digital signal processing includes
    – filter
    – temperature compensation
  • 12 bit resolution
  • High refresh rate
  • -40°C to 85°C temperature range
  • Typical accuracy
    – 0.2° at 25°C
    – 0.6° (-40°C to 85°C)
