7.4. Associated Software

7.4.1. SW-AEK-SDK (Software Development Kit)

The Ekinox Software Development Kit is very helpful to configure,
playback recorded logs, export data to text files or third party
software and even develop custom code for the Ekinox.

It contains the following items:

●

sbgCenter analysis software

●

sbgECom C library and examples

●

All documentations and low level protocol specifications

●

Unlimited free software upgrades

7.4.2. SW-NOV-PP-GPS-IMU-U (Post-processing suite)

The post-processing software suite is based on Novatel Inertial
Explorer. It provides:

●

Easy Ekinox integration into Post-processing software suite

●

Much higher accuracy than real time processing

●

Loosely and tightly coupled GNSS/INS processing

●

Precise Point Positioning (PPP) processing, for accurate
positioning, even without RTK station.

●

1 Year support and updates
