How may i know about self-test, what is the procedure after enable self-test for each one, and what kind of data will there that i have to use for further analysis, and how.

#self-test

Hello,

LSM9DS1 SelfTest is STMicroelectronics confidential information. For simple SelfTest you can use the following procedure:1.Read ACC XYZ outputs (ACC_NOST_DATA)Read GYR XYZ outputs (GYR_NOST_DATA)Read MAG XYZ outputs (MAG_NOST_DATA)2.Enable ACC ST (ST=SelfTest)Read ACC XYZ outputs (ACC_ST_DATA)Verify that: ACC_NOST_DATA - ACC_ST_DATA = POSITIVE value for each axisDisable ACC ST3.Enable GYR STRead GYR XYZ outputs (GYR_ST_DATA)Verify that: GYR_NOST_DATA - GYR_ST_DATA = POSITIVE value for each axisDisable GYR ST4.Enable MAG STRead MAG XYZ outputs (MAG_ST_DATA)Verify that: MAG_NOST_DATA - MAG_ST_DATA = NEGATIVE value for each axisBest regards,Petr

Hi

Shouldnt it be the ST_DATA FIRST , minus the NOST_DATA??

As

Zalesky.Arie

‌, I am also wondering if it is'NOST_DATA - ST_DATA' or 'ST_DATA - NOST_DATA'. I tested the procedure on a sensor that seems ok, and the results for 'MAG_NOST_DATA - MAG_ST_DATA' are positive for each axis (i.e. in contradiction to the mentioned formula if the sensor I tested is working).

Best,

David

Hello all,

for LSM9DS1 magnetometer selftest you better use

http://www.st.com/content/ccc/resource/technical/document/application_note/69/d7/05/fe/a9/3e/4b/ea/DM00136626.pdf/files/DM00136626.pdf/jcr:content/translations/en.DM00136626.pdf

 including the limits since 

LSM9DS1 contains LIS3MDL magnetometer.

Regards,

Petr
