SensorStage™

Sensor evaluation software platform for accelerated development and validation for IMUs

SensorStage is a comprehensive evaluation platform designed to streamline and speed up inertial sensor development. By integrating advanced visualization, automated workflows, and prebuilt sensing features, SensorStage empowers engineers to quickly gain actionable insights, minimize setup complexity, and shorten time-to-market for innovative systems. 

SensorStage provides a unified environment for evaluating TDK’s MEMS IMUs and TMR magnetometers. When paired with the SmartMotion development board, engineers can access sophisticated on-chip features. These include Machine Learning algorithms, APEX engine for Gyro Assisted Fusion, motion and event detection, and chip-level power consumption. Features are visualized for precise calibration. This results in faster time-to-market for complex designs.

SensorStage is currently available for SmartMotion IMUs ICM-456xx and ICM-426xx, and will soon be available for additional InvenSense MEMS sensor solutions.
