Abstract
Embodiments of systems for calibrating transducer-including devices include a board support structure, one or more motors, a motor control module, and a calibration control module. The board support structure holds a calibration board in a fixed position with respect to the board support structure. The motor(s) rotate the board support structure around one or more axes of a fixed coordinate system. The motor control module sends motor control signals to the motor(s) to cause the motor(s) to move the board support structure through a series of orientations with respect to the fixed coordinate system. The calibration control module sends, through a communication structure, signals to the transducer-including devices, which are loaded into a plurality of sockets of the calibration board. The signals cause the transducer-including devices to generate transducer data while the board support structure is in or moving toward each orientation of the series of orientations.
