Use with survey hardware
For using your xNAV650 INS device with a range of different surveying devices we have online support
manuals. This is by no means exhaustive, the xNAV650 is compatible with almost any LiDAR or camera
when it is configured correctly, and the correct interfaces are created between the devices.

For information on setting up a configuration for your INS to work with survey devices you can follow
the guides above and the NAVconfig support guide.
Many devices will require to receive NMEA messages and a time synchronisation. For the xNAV650,
time synchronisation can be done using PPS or using PTP. See the manual at the hyperlink above to
configure your INS to use PTP. PTP messages are sent over ethernet whereas PPS will require a
suitable cable connection to be made. NMEA messages can be configured to be sent over serial or
over ethernet using NAVconfig. For the serial connection, there must again be a suitable cable
connection made.
Using NAVconfig you can also configure input and output triggers and a displaced output if you want
the navigation data to be representative of the survey device instead of the INS.
Data logging
A Feature Code can be purchased to allow your xNAV650 device to log ethernet traffic directly onto the
unit. This allows you to bypass the need to monitor and record your files in real time. Files can be
retrieved from the device in the same way as RD files via FTP interfacing.
When LiDAR data is logged in this way it is recorded as .lcom which is identical to a .pcap except
without ethernet headers. LCOM and PCAP files work identically in OxTS Georeferencer.
