System 6 Features and Specifications

System 6 Features

  • Solid-state Fiber-Optic Gyros (FOGs) enabling the highest sensitivity possible using direct digital output.
  • Custom software records data and monitors system performance with greater reliability
  • Embedded sensor electronics increases robustness, reliability, stability, and accuracy of readings.
  • Sensor and electronics are temperature stabilized in a double oven.
  • Sensor is sealed to outside air removing the need for pressure corrections.
  • DSP Platform Control using a digital signal processor board to keep the platform level independently of the system computer, allowing higher platform gain which gives faster response times and smaller errors
  • Sensing accomplished with full electronic feedback of the beam
  • Minimized cross-coupling corrections
  • Laboratory tests show a dynamic repeatability of better than 0.25 milliGals.
  • Increased Precision – Internal sampling of the analog signals at 6.4kHz improves accuracy, avoids aliasing, and produces greater than 24-bit effective resolution.
  • Employs industrial-grade electronics designed for long life and high reliability even in adverse conditions.
  • Uninterruptible Power Supply is standard on the system.
  • Aircraft inverter (28V DC to 110V AC) included with the system.
  • Integrated GPS provides stable time base and precision sampling.
  • Full customer support.
    • Installation, training, survey setup and assistance.
    • Fully functional spare electronics for less downtime.
    • On call technical support
