FAS-G® Inclinometer




Gyro Enhanced Flexion Angle System


FAS G

BUY OVERVIEW DOCUMENTATION SPECIFICATIONS
Description

FAS-G® combines an angular rate gyro with two orthogonal DC accelerometers, 12 bit A/D converter, multiplexer, microcontroller, and D/A converter to provide an analog voltage linearly proportional to inclination in dynamic and static environments.

Operating over the full 360˚ of angular motion, FAS-G® is versatile by design. The additional digital serial output can be programmed to provide either compensated angles or raw sensor data. The digital output modes and software filter parameters are user programmable. All programmed parameters are stored in nonvolitale memory.

FAS-G® is sold as a starter kit for the first unit purchased, after which, just the module (board with enclosure) can be purchased. The starter kit includes the board, enclosure, software, requisite communications and power cables, power supply and a manual.
