Updated on Jun 5, 2026

Overview #

This page provides connection information for using an IMU05 or IMU05-S with compatible VBOX data loggers.

Select the relevant VBOX product below to view the required equipment, hardware connections, and any product-specific requirements.

Once the hardware has been connected, additional configuration, initialisation, and calibration steps are required before testing can begin.

Next Step #

Additional configuration, initialisation and calibration processes are required before an IMU can be used.

Configure the IMU settings in VBOX Setup after installation.

The IMU must also complete initialisation and Kalman Filter Calibration before testing.

For more information, see the IMU Integration page.
