Measure panel 

 

 

Panel content 

Functionality and description 

Measure button 

Starts a measurement series 

Samples box 

Defines the number of samples to be collected (max 50 MS) 

Save to file button 

Saves data from a completed measurement series to a result file. The file path 
defined in the active parameter file is proposed 

X-, Y- and Z-axis check boxes  Selects which axis data to present in the graph area (up to 3 axes can be plotted 

simultaneously) 

Relative and absolute toggle 
switch 

When set to ‘Absolute’, all results are plotted as received. When set to ‘Relative’ 
the curves are translated so that the first measurement is shown in the plot as zero 

Active device indicator 

Indicates active gyro module. Corresponding COM port is specified in the active 
parameter file 

CRC and DG-ID LEDS 

Status on all CRC checks and DG-IDs. GREEN = OK, RED = FAIL 

Data box 

Selects which datagram content to be shown. Several options are available, 
depending on the active datagram type. Left click inside box to display available 
selections. The plot updates immediately if a measurement series has been done 

Scale box 

Enables user to change Y-axis scaling (Full range, User defined, or Auto). Left click 
inside box to display available selections 

Sample rate box 

Displays the sample rate used in measurement 

Unit box 

Displays the output unit for all measurements (Angular Rate, Incremental Angle, 
etc.) 

DG type box 

Displays the type of datagram received 

Save to disk icon 

Saves the plot to a .JPG file 

Print icon 

Prints a picture of the plot to the default printer 

1:1 icon 

Resets zoom level to 1:1 (if ZOOM is active. See below) 

Zoom icon 

Enables a custom zoom of the presented results in the strip chart (graph area) 
according to placement of the cursors 

Cursors (On/Off) switch 

Enables usage of cursors (default is Off) 

Cursor 1 

Shows the location of cursor no 1 

Cursor 2 

Shows the location of cursor no 2 

Delta 

Shows the delta between the two cursor locations (X and Y values) 

Progress bar 

A blue continuous line above plot area shows the measurement series progress 

Lower bar on panel 

Shows the INI-file in use and the active mode (INTERACTIVE MEASUREMENTS) 

Table 7:

 Measure panel description 

 
Saved data: 
An example of a result file is shown in Figure 28, for a standard datagram measurement series of gyro module # 1. A 
description of each of the columns of the data log file is found in Table 8.
