The final example is west-south-down (WSD). This matrix would be appropriate for

an ENU accelerometer, since it incorporates the -1 multiplication factor. The

orientation matrix and associated matrix math are given below.

Cal Offsets

Normally these fields will be ‘0’. However if the user has information indicating a given

model of sensor consistently has a fixed measurement offset, then these fields allow the

user to tailor the SENtral algorithm. For example, assume statistical data from a

manufacturer regarding their accelerometer indicates their z-axis sensor has an average

reading of 1.1 g when actually experiencing 1.0 g of gravitational force. In this case, the

user can enter an offset on the z-axis of 0.1g for the accelerometer. The fields are given

in X, Y, Z order, and the units are as follows:

Magnetometer:

1.0 = +50

T

Accelerometer:

1.0 = +1 g

Gyroscope:

1.0 = +1 radian/second
