LC-8100 GPS Speedometer System |
|
|
|
This GPS-based speedometer precisely
measures horizontal speed and distance, also useful for running
tests of acceleration or braking etc. Compact and light weight
system can be easily mounted on a vehicle.
Even under bad GPS signal reception,
standard IMU unit can make precise and stable measurement at
update cycle of 100 Hz. Connecting the LC-8100 to a PC
enables GPS setting, measurement condition setting and logging
of measurement data such as speed or distance.
Various options will support your
measurement or testing applications
|
Features
Adopting GPS-based sensor, the measurement is
not affected by weather or road surface conditions.
The combination of the latest GPS engine and
IMU unit allows precise measurement with high update rate of 100 Hz,
delay time of 5 ms.
-
Highly precise and stable measurement by IMU unit
even under bad GPS signal reception
Can be used for acceleration/deceleration
test with a delay time of 5 ms or less.
-
Various optional measurements by hardware; vertical direction
measurement, tri-axial
acceleration and tri-axial angle etc.
-
Various optional vehicle testing by software:
expansion data logging, acceleration/deceleration test etc.
