n many cases the antenna baseline will not align perfectly with the vehicle
’
s longitudinal axis
or its perpendicular and in these circumstances the provided attitude o
ff
set value can also be
used to compensate for small angular deviations. Note that, in order to ensure the integrity
of the solution, o
ff
sets greater than 5 degrees from the longitudinal axis or its perpendicular
are not recommended.
An increase in angle between the antenna baseline and the vehicle
’
s longitudinal axis in the
clockwise direction corresponds to a positive change in the value of the heading o
ff
set To
better explain this, a few examples of possible setups are given below in Figure 3-8.
