A sensor measures 3-axis angle, angular velocity, acceleration. Its strength lies in the algorithm which can calculate three-axis angle accurately. BWT61CL is an CE standard accelerometer. It is employed where the highest measurement accuracy is required. BWT61CL offers several advantages over competing sensor: •...
