3DM-GX5-AR
Vertical Reference Unit (VRU)
The MicroStrain 3DM-GX5-AR is the smallest and lightest industrial VRU available. It features a triaxial accelerometer, gyroscope, and temperature sensors to achieve the optimum combination of measurement qualities. It is ideally suited for a wide range of applications, including platform stabilization antenna pointing and usage monitoring.

Description
The MicroStrain by HBK 3DM-GX5 family of high-performance industrial grade inertial sensors provides a wide range of triaxial inertial measurements and computed attitude and navigation solutions. In all models, the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) includes direct measurement of acceleration and angular rate. All sensors are fully temperature compensated and calibrated over the operating temperature. The use of Micro- Electro- Mechanical System (MEMS) technology allows for highly accurate, small, lightweight devices. SensorConnect software can be used for device configuration, live data monitoring, and recording. Alternatively, the MIP Data Communications Protocol is available for development of custom interfaces and easy OEM integration.
