Can someone explain the types of acceleration data (RAW, BODY, GROUND)? And how they differ from each other?

I am working with a research group and we are using acceleration to determine variables necessary for our work. But I am confused at the advatages and disadvanteages of each type of acceleration data. Under Enumeration Documentation I found three different types of acceleration data: RAW, GROUND, and BODY. I understand the different frames of reference for GROUND and BODY, but I am puzzled as to what RAW means. Can anyone give me an explanation of differences between these, and explain to me what acceleration raw is?

Thank you.

  • The updated (08/15/2018) Telemetry API Reference includes information about frames of reference for each topic and also warns if there are non-standard frames involved. You can submit any issues you have with the docs on the documentation Github repo.
