Introduction

Pulse-20 is a miniature, 9 degrees of freedom (9DoF), industrial grade Inertial measurement unit, designed for a wide range of applications.

The Pulse-20 is has incredible performance robustness:

  • Incredible SWaP with a miniature package and a weight lower than 10g 
  • Individual temperature calibration
  • Serial interface RS232 and RS422
  • CAN interface
  • High performance gyroscope and accelerometers making it suitable for a wide range of applications such as navigation, stabilization, pointing, etc
  • A very high robustness to harsh environments such as vibrations and shocks
  • 2 years warranty
  • Advanced synchronization features with 2 synchronization connectors

Block diagram

The following block diagram gives an overview of functions running in real-time in the Pulse-20.

A three axis gyroscopes, accelerometers and magnetometers are sampled at a very high rate by the onboard microprocessor. The sensors measurement are controlled by a Continuous Built-in Test to ensure the quality of sensor measurement.

Advanced synchronization inputs and outputs features are handled by an internal clock and interrupt manager, and outputs can be generated at a very high rate of up to 2KHz on the Serial interface.
