What are the rotation sequence of the euler angles measured from 2-coordinate-system-distances (6DOF)


Recommended Posts

I have set up a 2 coordinate system distance. And I would like to measure the rotations from my reference frame to local frame. The outputs are three angles phi, theta, psi. I would like to know are those angles extrinsic Euler angles? If so, what are the rotation sequence? Can someone point me to the corresponding user guide/documentations?

Hi,

the angles are extrinsic euler angles (means: the coordinate axis stays fixed after applying the rotations). The coordinate system for evaluation is usually your first coordinate system and the evaluation (rotation) order is: Y - X - Z

Keep in mind: Usually you have two possible solutions how you can achieve the rotational state (only one possible calculation result is displayed)! 

Hope this helps?!

Regards,
