Equation 3.7-13<br />

The analogue measurement is converted to digital form using a 40 Hz, 4 th<br />

order Butterworth filter, and a 12 bit ADC subject to 3 bits of noise with a<br />

sampling rate and range matched to the output interface.<br />

3.7.4 Sensor Limitations<br />

The provision of altimeter measurements at the output interface depends on:<br />

• User measurement selection ( MS_MSAV1 bit 15 cleared )<br />

• Height limiting ( MS_RA_ER bit 15 is set )<br />

• Height rate limiting ( MS_RA_ER bit 16 is set )<br />

• Pitch and roll limiting ( MS_RA_ER bit 17 is set )<br />

When active, if any of these limitations are violated, bit 15 in the<br />

measurement ready flag MS_MSRY1 is cleared. Failure to provide a<br />

measurement at the user’s request is indicated by setting bit 0 of<br />

MS_RA_VF. If the height, or height rate, limits of 200 m and 600 m/s are<br />

exceeded bits 1-2 of MS_BA_VF are set respectively. If either the missile<br />

roll or pitch angle deviate from the geodetic vertical by more than 20°<br />

bits 3-4 of MS_BA_VF are set respectively.<br />

3.7.5 Output Interface<br />

The measured height above the ground height passes through an unsigned<br />

16 bit digital interface at a frequency (RAfO) of 20 Hz (clock 17). The<br />

measurement is subject to an interface range limit of 200 m and a one-cycle<br />

transmission delay.<br />
