BMI323 Self-test

[brain_tom]

Hello, Bosch

Is there a more detailed document available on the self-test feature than what is provided in the BMI323 data sheet?

Thank you.

Hi brain_tom,

You can refer to the description in BMI323 data sheet and the implementation in the Sensor API.

Hello, it is currently still unclear to me what state the sensor must be in during a self-test. Does the sensor have to move or be held still? How exactly are the functions checked during the self-test? Many thanks in advance.

Hi lberger,

Thank for your inquiry.
Normally, sensor should be kept still during doing self test.

Hi BSTRobin,

thanks for the reply. 

Can the test be used to check the correct functionality of all sensor parts or is it still advisable to carry out a test in which the sensor is moved and the movement data is compared against a previously defined reference range?
