The AHRS section allows for calibration and future configuration of the AHRS function. +
The AHRS section allows for calibration and future configuration of the AHRS function. Calibrate AHRS Sensors guides initial setup of the AHRS function, specifying the orientation of the sensors relative to the airplane. Additional calibration may be added later.
+The calibration process determines which sensor direction will be forward, which toward the left wing, and which toward the ground. You only have to do this once. The settings for this sensor will be saved for future flights.
+The direction of gravity is used to determine the forward and up orientations, and the left wing is determined based on this.
The Configuration section lets you adjust the default operation of your Stratux device.
Beginning sensor calibration. We will be telling the Stratux sensors which direction will be forward, which toward the left wing, and which toward the ground. You only have to do this once. The settings for this sensor will be saved for future flights.
-First, point the Stratux/sensor box so that the end that will be pointing forward (toward the nose of the airplane) is pointing toward the sky, and while holding it that way, press the Set Forward Direction button.
-The Stratux sensors will use the direction of gravity to determine the forward orientation.
+Point the Stratux/sensor box so that the end that will be pointing toward the nose of the airplane is pointing toward the sky and press the Set Forward Direction button.
Next, place the Stratux/sensor box in the orientation it will be in during flight, and while holding it that way, press the Set Up Direction button.
-The Stratux sensors will use the direction of gravity to determine the up orientation.
-Once you've done that, the sensors will be calibrated. The direction toward the left wing will be determined automatically.
+Place the Stratux/sensor box in the orientation it will be in during flight and press the Set Up Direction button.
