3.5 How to see if the IMU is outputting data?
An easy way to determine if communication is taking place between the
I
MU and the GNSS
receiver is by inspecting the External Sensor Setup page where the data stream connection
is indicated and the raw sensor data can be visualized. When the
I
MU is communicating to
the GNSS receiver, there should be a line visible between the AsteRx SBi3 and SP
I
as shown
in Figure 3-12.
Figure 3-12:
The Data Stream window on the Overview page should show a line
symbolizing a connection between the AsteRx SBi3 and the
I
MU which is connected
to SP
I
.
A more robust way of verifying that the
I
MU is not only connected but that the
I
MU data is
being received and processed correctly involves inspecting the
I
MU View in RxControl or web
interface. After establishing a connection with the AsteRx SBi3 using RxControl, navigate to
View >
I
MU View as shown in Figure 3-13. The acceleration and angular rate plots should
display information similar as shown in Figure 3-13. These plots are based on the un
fi
ltered
I
MU sensor measurements and provide an unambiguous way of checking that the
I
MU is
outputting data.
