Accelerometer SubTab
Use this page to enable and configure accelerometer settings. Accelerometer settings are typically
used in mobile (automotive) environments.
General
Check the Enable Accelerometer box to turn on the accelerometer.
NOTE: The following settings apply regardless of the mode selected (Motion detection or Driver
behavior).
G Range: Specify thegravity(G)forcerange.Thisis themaximumvaluethatcanbe recorded
accurately. The wider the range, the less accurate the readings will be. The default value is 2g, which is
sufficient for normal vehicles. A value above 2g indicates a crash.
Check the Auto-calibration box to enable auto-calibration. NOTE: It is recommended to always check
this box if the accelerometer is going to be used.
Retain calibration data on restart: When this box is checked, the device automatically re-calibrates
on restart. Use this feature if the Skyus device is in a fixed location in a vehicle. In that case, it will allow
the accelerometer to perform auto-calibration faster. In other settings it should remain turned off.
