Notes:

¹Inertial measurement sensors are highly sensitive mechanical systems. Their performance and life span can be impacted by severe vibration or heavy knocks, and we can only guarantee the gyroscope and accelerometer specifications for a maximum of 2 years from the date of purchase.

²Effective resolution is after allowing for oversampling and averaging.

³For full scale range of ± 20 g the nonlinearity is 0.1%.
