In this way it is therefore possible to identify which individual sample values have BIT flags associated with them. For convenience, sample values with associated BIT flags can be marked (using a white circle) by selecting “Show point marks”. DMU30-00-0100-910 Page 21 Issue 1, June 2015 DCR 710009247...

Page 34: Sensor Sampling And Synchronisation
6.1 Sensor Sampling and Synchronisation When the DMU30 Evaluation Kit is not used, it is possible to make use of the ‘Sync Pulse’ output from the DMU30. The Inertial Sensors within DMU30 are all sampled at 1000 Hz. The ‘Sync Pulse’ on the connector is set HIGH at the start of the sampling and returned to LOW when the last Inertial Sensor is sampled. -

7 DMU30 Electrical Connections The interface cable shown in Figure 18 enables the DMU30 to be connected directly to the MEV interface allowing the application to be used immediately. Figure 18: Interface Cable 630567-0940 Should the user wish to connect to the DMU30 to a separate power supply and/or logging software, a 15-way micro D-type connector will need to be purchased (manufacturer part number MWDM2L-15P-6E5-18), as it is not included in the evaluation kit. -
