The paper describes the main characteristics of global navigation systems (GNSS) and inertial navigation systems (INS). Methods of measuring position using both types of systems were considered and their precision was analyzed. For GNSS systems RTK position measurements that use two GNSS receivers to provide better precision for the calculated position were described. For INS systems a method to compensate recorded signals was considered and the possibility of using sensor fusion algorithms to increase the precision of the calculated position. In the thesis a system that enables physical movement of sensors according to a user specified experiment to allow measurement of sensor characteristics was developed. The system input is a set of user specified time-varying positions for the movable part of the system. Algorithms that convert user specified positions into impulses that drive the stepper motor of the movable part of the system were developed. During experiment runtime the system simultaneously records RTK measurements (using the RTKLIB library and two GNSS receivers) and accelerometer data. Accuracy of generated impulses and position accuracy of the movable part of the system was experimentally verified and analyzed. The analysis yielded that the system is accurate enough to serve as a test bed for considered displacement sensors. Results from three measurements were presented. Instructions on how to use the developed software were given.
