The periodic tilting of the horizontal platform of an inertial navigation system caused by the vertical misalignment of the platform. 1, record 2, English, - Schuler%20oscillation
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Schuler oscillations. Characteristic of all inertial navigation systems; it is caused by the fact that computed velocity is used to keep the platform level as the vehicle moves across the earth's surface, and any error will cause the accelerometer to sense a component of gravity that affects the computed velocity. In other words, a platform results in accelerometers interpreting gravity times tilt as an acceleration. At sea level the period of oscillation is 84. 4 min. 1, record 2, English, - Schuler%20oscillation

The test signal produces large pitch and roll electrical torques in the VG [vertical gyro]. The error sensed by the pick-offs drives the servoed platform gimbals until the tilt signals coming from the liquid levels balance the test signals. The test signals are of sufficient intensity to produce a 5 degree [plus or minus] 1 degree displacement of the platform pitch and roll gimbals in 5 minutes. 1, record 3, English, - servoed%20platform%20gimbal

[Le] signal d'essai produit un couple électrique important de tangage et de roulis dans le VG [gyroscope de verticale]. L'erreur qui est captée par les détecteurs entraîne les cardans asservis de la plate-forme jusqu'à ce que les signaux d'inclinaison venant des niveaux à liquide soient en équilibre avec les signaux d'essai. Les signaux d'essai sont d'une intensité suffisante pour produire un déplacement de 5 degrés [plus ou moins] 1 degré des cardans de tangage et de roulis en 5 minutes. 1, record 3, French, - cardan%20asservi%20de%20la%20plate%2Dforme
