magnetometer if on a tow cable. Adding a 10m to 20m overshoot segment to the mission
control software parameters and reducing the speed to around 2 m/s for the overshoot
segment in combination with the Adaptive Bank Turn type will effectively prevent the pendulum
motion of the sensor.
E.
Once the mission is complete, download the data. Only when the MagArrow is in WiFi range,
can data be downloaded and status info updated. You can reset the system and the data will still
be saved internally.
F.
Convert the data into ASCII format using Survey Manager. Load data into Surfer, Geosoft, or
another magnetic data processing program.
G.
Compensation and/or noise reduction techniques can be used to minimize the magnetic effect
of the UAS platform and its motion. Navigational and positional errors, radiated electromagnetic
noise, and heading errors from the aircraft's induced and remnant magnetic fields are typically
the major contributors to noise affecting the survey results.
Troubleshooting
Magnetometer
The magnetometer data reported as Invalid
1.
The magnetometer may take 3 minutes to warm up.
2.
If MagArrow is near a magnetic object move it away from the object.
3.
Turn the MagArrow so that it points North.
4.
If the MagArrow is near a large electric motor or other sources of large AC magnetic fields, move
it away.
The magnetometer readings vary unreasonably
1.
Have all the people nearby stop moving to see if one of them is very magnetic. Cellphones can
be surprisingly magnetic.
2.
Try moving the magnetometer a short distance to see if the variation decreases.
3.
If the MagArrow is resting on the ground, lift it approximately one meter off the ground.
WiFi
The WiFi access point is not found by the logging device
1.
It may take about 15 seconds for the tablet or other device to find the WiFi access point. Only
one device can be connected to the MagArrow’s wireless access point at a time. Make sure no
other devises are connected to the MagArrow’s WiFi access point.
The WiFi connects but the web page is not found
1.
Check that the SSID for the WiFi you are connected to matches the label on the MagArrow.
