vector acceleration - definition

Postby ml » Mon Jun 13, 2011 10:18 am

So long I thought 'vector acc' is the resultant of longitudinal, lateral and vertical accelration.

But it isn't "sqrt(VAR_0002^2+VAR_0004^2+VAR_0006^2)" The curves partly differ much.

What is 'vector acc'? The help doesn't help, Definitions of 'long accel' and 'vector accel' are wrongly the same:
" long accel [g]
the vehicle's longitudinal acceleration measured directly from the accelerometers (accelerating/breaking g-force)

vector accel [g] [????????????????????????]
the vehicle's longitudinal acceleration measured directly from the accelerometers (accelerating/braking g-forces)"

And is 'directly' correct? Not combined with GPS?

Sounds like you caught somebody in a "Copy/Paste"... :lol:

As for matching up your calculated vector accel vs. the reported vector accel: I hope you've turned off all filtering?

Yes. Filtering und smoothing are off in basic-values und calculated-values. Most time the curves are nearly identical, but not identical, sometimes you see a greater difference.

I think I have found the discrepancy: Vector-Acceleration is only X,Y not Z. 2- not 3-dimensional.

RT: Is it so. Is it planned so?
