IEEE 671-1985/Cor 1-2010

IEEE 671-1985/Cor 1-2010 is a technical corrigendum to the specification format guide and test procedure for nongyroscopic inertial angular sensors that measure jerk, acceleration, velocity, and displacement. It is focused on correcting Section 4.7.2.6, Short-Term Stability, and Annex A sensor dynamic block diagrams, which makes it especially relevant for precise inertial sensor documentation and evaluation. For aerospace and transportation applications, this standard helps support clearer requirements, more consistent testing, and better interpretation of performance data.

IEEE 671-1985/Cor 1-2010 overview

This document updates the original IEEE 671 specification by refining wording and technical content in areas that affect how nongyroscopic inertial angular sensors are described and assessed. The corrigendum is centered on short-term stability and sensor dynamic block diagrams, two elements that influence how performance behavior is specified and understood. As a result, IEEE 671-1985/Cor 1-2010 is most useful where accurate test procedures, controlled design documentation, and consistent engineering terminology are important for inertial sensing systems.

Typical use cases

IEEE 671-1985/Cor 1-2010 is commonly used when reviewing or maintaining documentation for inertial angular sensors in aerospace or transportation equipment. It may support engineering teams working with sensor characterization, test planning, and compliance checks for systems that rely on measurements of acceleration, velocity, displacement, or jerk. The corrigendum is also relevant in design reviews where short-term stability and dynamic block diagrams need to be stated clearly for procurement, verification, or controlled technical records.

Why this standard matters

For safety-critical and performance-sensitive sensing applications, small wording or diagram corrections can have a meaningful impact on interpretation. IEEE 671-1985/Cor 1-2010 helps reduce ambiguity in how inertial sensor behavior is specified, which can improve consistency across testing, design control, and supplier communication. In practice, that supports more reliable comparison of devices, clearer acceptance criteria, and fewer misunderstandings when documenting performance expectations for nongyroscopic angular sensors.
