Sensors:
High frequency - Triaxial
Sensor Heads (TSHs)
Low frequency -
Canopus MESA Sensor Subsystem (MSS)
Roll rate - Fiber
Optic Gyro (FOG)
Control
& Data acquisition Unit (CDU)
Sensors
(TSH and FOG) can be flown alone, without the Control and Data acquisition
Unit
-
Simple standard serial interfaces to connect to your control system.
- Output
measurement data is already properly conditioned and filtered.
- Simple
power requirements: TSH uses ±15VDC (1.6 Watts), FOG uses
±5VDC (~2W).
- Simple
interface protocol.
- Software
available to control sensors.
