Figure 61: Boreas Manager Alignment Dialogue
Alignment Offset
If Boreas is installed into the vehicle with the positive X axis pointing forwards and the positive Z axis pointing
down, then no alignment offset is required and the roll, pitch and heading offset values can remain at the factory
defaults of zero.
If the unit is installed in a different orientation then the roll, pitch and heading offset must be entered. For
example if the unit is installed on its side with the X axis pointing up and the Z axis pointing forwards and no
change to the Y axis, then this would result in a pitch offset of +90 degrees with roll and heading remaining zero.
If there is a small misalignment due to mechanical mounting error this can be compensated for by setting the
vehicle stationary on a level surface and pressing the Zero Current Orientation button.
Note
: This will only correct for roll and pitch offsets, the Heading offset must be entered manually and
saved before using this function.
All the other offsets will be measured in the realigned body co-ordinate frame (X positive forward, Z positive
down) after being corrected for any alignment offset entered.
