For a development project we needed the speed of an agricultural vehicle with a sampling frequency of at least 20 Hz. There are different possibilities for this; Radar sensors or encoders can be integrated into the vehicle with appropriate effort. We finally decided on a GPS receiver (or GNSS receiver) with an IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit: three-axis gyro and acceleration sensors) and an integrated Kalman filter. We came across the 3DM-GX5-45 from LORD, which includes all of these functions.

With the high-level language LabVIEW you can not only record data and control systems, but also visualize and edit data. This with a simple desktop application and no special hardware. We were allowed to develop an application for a customer to synchronize data. With his measurement setup, it was not possible to record all measurement data using the same software. As a result, he ended up with two differently formatted files with measurement data.
