  • Page 9: Product Description

    Product description 3. Product description 3.1 General Correvit SF-Motion sensors are especially designed for motor sports applications to measure longitudinal and transverse vehicle dynamics. Correvit SF-Motion sensors use the proven Correvit technology. A special algorithm significantly reduces the signal noise. This algorithm and the high measurement frequency of 500 Hz enable a minimal signal delay of 6 ms.

    Mounting and connection 5.3.3 Bandwidth or cut-off frequency The bandwidth of the SF-Motion sensor is limited by the processor clock. The processor location clock rate is 500 Hz. With the filter deactivated, the processor has an approximate bandwidth of 220 Hz. The following formula can be used as a rule of thumb: Bandwidth = 220 Hz * 2 ms / filter time.
