Data Logger Aaronia GPS Logger – GPS logger with Gyro and Tilt sensor, Compass and Accelerometer

Aaronia GPS Logger – GPS logger with Gyro and Tilt sensor, Compass and Accelerometer

The Aaronia GPS – Logger includes a total of 6 sensors, all of them on the cutting edge of technology, making it the world’s first stand-alone data logger with such a variety of sensors. Not to forget is also the very small form factor and the extremely high data rate of approx. 35 logs/second (freely adjustable). The logger with battery weighs just 88 grams

The following sensors are integrated in the logger:

• High End GPS sensor incl. antenna position, speed and altitude information with a sensitivity of -165 dBm and accuracy of 1,8m (CEP95)
• 3D compass with 1-2 degree precision
• 3D/Triaxial acceleration sensor with up to 4 mg resolution
• 3D/Triaxial Gyro / Tilt sensor with a sensitivity of 14 LSBs per second
• Altimeter / Pressure sensor with very high accuracy / resolution and a wide pressure range of 260 – 1260mbar and a height resolution of up to 20cm

Application

The main purpose of the GPS logger consists of recording the position and even the orientation of the Aaronia antennas (HyperLOG X , HyperLOG EMI or Magnotracker series).

The GPS sensor allows for easy collection and documentation of your measurement position, including elevation information.

Even more interesting is the Tilt-sensor and the digital compass, hereby the inclination and orientation of the antenna can be recorded and evaluated during the measurement. This special feature allows you to easily create an » RF heat map » including frequency, direction and strength of an RF source within 360 degrees.

Speed/Data Volume

The Aaronia GPS-Logger offers a very fast update rate of up to 35 complete logs with all sensor data per second (on µSD-Card and/OR USB-Streaming) offering a «real time» display of the unit orientation. At maximum rate the Aaronia GPS-Logger will produce around 50MB/hour (uncompressed)!

The maximum usable µSD volume is 2GB, offering a maximum recording time of about 2 days at full speed on the µSD card.

The data rate can be adjusted to much lower rates to keep data volume much lower offering long time recording on the µSD card over weeks or even months.

Operation

The Aaronia GPS – logger can be used with the internal LiPo battery (standalone) and / or USB (provides unlimited operating time).

The logger has three operating modes:

• Streaming / logging on the internal (removable) μSD Card, completely independently as a stand- alone device
• Continuous recording via USB port (PC, Linux or MAC OS)
• Transfer of files stored in internal μSD Card (PC, Linux or MAC OS)

Assembly

The Aaronia GPS – logger can be mounted directly on HyperLOG X, BicoLOG and HyperLOG EMI antennas (screws and adapter included).

It can also be mounted on any other device , car, etc. with the included adapter. This only requires 2 holes to be drilled to attach the supplied adapter.
