Public Functions

ImuSensor()¶

~ImuSensor()¶

void Reset(uint64_t CurrentSimNanos)¶

Reset the module

Parameters: CurrentSimNanos – current time (ns)
Returns: void

void UpdateState(uint64_t CurrentSimNanos)¶

update module states

Parameters: CurrentSimNanos – current time (ns)

void readInputMessages()¶: read input messages

void writeOutputMessages(uint64_t Clock)¶: write output messages

void setBodyToPlatformDCM(double yaw, double pitch, double roll)¶: set body orientation DCM relative to platform

void computePlatformDR()¶: This function gathers actual spacecraft attitude from the spacecraft output message. It then differences the state attitude between this time and the last time the IMU was called to get a DR (delta radians or delta rotation) The angular rate is retrieved directly from the spacecraft output message and passed through to theother IMU functions which add noise, etc.

void computePlatformDV(uint64_t CurrentTime)¶

This functions gathers actual spacecraft velocity from the spacecraft output message. It then differences the velocity between this time and the last time the IMU was called to get a DV (delta velocity). The acceleration of the spacecraft in the body frame is gathered directly from the spacecraft output message. Then, it is converted to the platform frame and rotational terms are added to it to account for CoM offset of the platform frame.

Parameters: CurrentTime –

void applySensorErrors(uint64_t CurrentTime)¶: apply sensor errors

void applySensorDiscretization(uint64_t CurrentTime)¶
