The device provides a 3.3V supply voltage to an external antenna connected to the *GPS* port
of your device. Note that this supply voltage is turned off in order to safe power upon destruction of the software object.
+\subsection e3x0_hw_imu Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)
+
+Your USRP-E Series device has an onboard IMU that provides
+9 axis (Gyro, Accelerometer and compass) functionality.
+
+The USRP-E Series images ship with several example applications based on
+<a href="https://github.com/richards-tech/RTIMULib">RTIMULib</a> that allow the user
+to explore the basic functionality of the IMU as well as to calibrate it.
+
+To test the accelerometer, run:
+
+ $ RTIMULibDrive
+
+This will print the current acclerometer values on the console.
+
+To launch the IMU calibration procedure, run:
+
+ $ RTIMULibCal
+
+and follow the onscreen instructions. Please note that magnetometer calibration is important to obtain
+sensible results if the IMU is to be used in sensor fusion applications.
+
+Using X11 forwarding over SSH (see \ref e3x0_faq) a complete sensor fusion application can be run over SSH
+from a host computer by typing:
+
+ $ RTIMULibDemo
+
+This should open a graphical window on the host computer that displays the various outputs of the IMU,
+as well as quaternion measurements based on different sensor fusion algorithms.
