IMU Range Requirements For Hand Held NDT Probe

Hi There
In general the smaller the range of your gyroscope,accelerometer and magnetometer measurements are, the more accurate the Device. So im wondering if any one has had any experience with using IMUs for hand held devices which are not used for very fast movements. For example would a suitable gyroscope,accelerometer and magnetometer measurement range be; 250 +-°/s , 2 +-g, 6 +-G, respectively.


thank you!

    For the magnetometer you can get it even lower for higher precision. +- 2 gauss works well. For the accelerometer I might go a little bit higher, since there's going to be shocks to the system that you need to measure.
