For Immediate Release:
IST’s Linear Accelerometer & Angular Rate
Sensor & Recorder… A New Tool
For Testing High Speed Watercraft 
IST’s (Instrumented Sensor Technology) new MotionMaster EDR-6DOF self-contained sensor and recorder measures and records 3-axis linear acceleration and 3-axis roll, pitch and yaw. IST’s MotionMaster is an ideal tool for evaluating watercraft roll, pitch, yaw, vibration and G force levels during high speed performance testing.
Helps evaluate & document:
· Impact G forces to operator & occupants due to high speeds, maneuvers & large waves
· Angular Rates-Roll, pitch and yaw motions
· Hazards to electronic equipment
· Watercraft ride quality
· Stabilizer performance
· Design performance features
· Crash data analysis
MotionMaster is a stand alone, battery operated measurement and recording system that incorporates the power source, digital electronics, analog electronics and all sensors into a single, robust package.
The system includes:
· 6- channel, 6 axis acceleration sensor / recorder
· Onboard 3 axis linear accelerometers-x, y, z & angular rate sensors
· Eight (8) MB onboard data storage
· Simultaneous 6-ch digitization to 3200 sps/ch
· Completely user programmable
High speed RS-232 & USB communications interface to PC. Completely self-contained, battery powered and rugged. IST onboard recorders have been standard equipment on all Indy 500 race cars since 1993 and have been a valuable tool for improving driver safety. IST is a world leader in supplying portable, programmable high speed recorders for dynamic measurement and recording in extreme environments.
