Abstract

With the advancement in technology and rapid increase in the demand for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) based inertial measurement units (IMUs), high-volume production and test system remain a major challenge for the MEMS industry. To compete with the challenging market of Industry 4.0, here we developed an automatic test system to evaluate the performance of the ovenized IMU sensors as well as analyze the data. The automatic test system was developed by interfacing a commercial MEMS IMU (BMI 088) using LabVIEW. The BMI 088 was tested experimentally for long-term bias stability, ON/OFF bias repeatability, and root mean square (rms) noise. Furthermore, the data was analyzed through the developed test system. The results show that the automatic test system has improved the test time and reduced human effort. The developed automatic test system is a significant approach to MEMS research and development (R&D) to increase and improve the mass production of IMUs.
