Jozef Hudák – Josef Blažek – František Kmec – Katarína Draganová – Peter Lukáč

   The article deals with so called multi-position static tests of magnetometer. This method is commonly used for Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) accelerometer calibration. The goal of these tests is to approximate static conversion characteristics of 3-axis IMU magnetometer and to determine additive and multiplicative constants for x, y, z channels of the magnetometer.

Keywords: magnetometer, calibration, multi-position static test, additive constant, multiplicative constant
