Dog-bone Sensor Mounting (Optional)
Anoptionallocationforthebucketsensorisonthedog‐bone.Thislocationoffersadditional
protectionofthesensor,butproduceslessaccuratereadings(especiallyifthejointsareworn).If
possible,placingthesensorontheinsideofthedog‐bonewi ll provideadditionalprotection.
Mountingthesensoronthedog‐bonerequiresadditionalcalibrationsteps. 
Theorienta tionofthedog‐bonemountedbucketsensormarkerisdeterminedwhenthedog‐boneis
horizontal(zerodegrees)asshowninFigure15.Orientationisselectedinthe SensorCalibration screenin
3D‐MC.
Therecommendedlocationofthesensorisontheleftsideofthedog‐bonewiththearrowpointing
forward,towardthedirectionoftra vel.
Figure15:Dog‐boneSensorMountingExample
Ifusingthedog‐bonemountingoption,wornjointsinthedog‐bonelinkagewillcause
decreasedaccuracy.
TS‐i3sensorsareonlymountedontheleftorrightofthedog‐bone.
