Figure 14: Alignment on a car
If aligning GNSS Compass with the vehicle axes is not possible within vehicle size or shape constraints, it may
be mounted in a different alignment and the alignment offset can be configured
or
8.2 Using GNSS Compass Manager
.
6.4 Networking
The default configuration for GNSS Compass is for the DHCP Client to be Enabled. This makes it a plug-and-
play solution for most users. It is possible to change GNSS Compass to a fixed IP address system once a
connection has been established.
GNSS Compass supports the Zero Configuration (Zeroconf) networking feature. On Linux and MacOS systems
no additional software is required. If you are using Microsoft Windows, install the Apple Bonjour software from
https://www.advancednavigation.com/Bonjour64.msi
if it's not already installed. Open a web browser and
type in the address
to discover the device and access the web interface.
If you cannot establish a connection using a DHCP-capable network, you can connect to and configure the
GNSS Compass using the Primary port RS232 serial interface and the GNSS Compass Manager application.
Note
: A factory reset will re-enable the DHCP Client and lose any static IP address settings.
6.5 Vibration
GNSS Compass is able to tolerate a high level of vibration compared to other inertial systems. This is due to a
unique gyroscope design and a special filtering algorithm among other things. There is however a limit to the
amount of vibration that a unit can tolerate and large levels of vibration can cause degraded accuracy.
When mounting GNSS Compass to a platform with vibration present, there are several options to mitigate the
negative performance effects. It is recommended to conduct a brief operating check to confirm performance is
within specification before conducting longer runs.
If there are persistent issues:
