ANGLE ALIGN
ASCII HEX DECIMAL BINARY
Command Byte q 71 113 01110001
Command Data A, E, R
By default, the angle outputs from The Bird are measured in the coordinate frame defined by the
Scanner's X, Y and Z axes,
as shown in Figure 3.1
, and are measured with respect to rotations
about the physical X, Y and Z axes of the sensor. The ANGLE ALIGN1 command allows you to
mathematically change the sensor's X, Y and Z axes to an orientation which differs from that of the
actual sensor.
For example:
Suppose that during installation you find it necessary, due to physical requirements, to cock the
sensor, resulting in its angle outputs reading Azim = 5 deg, Elev = 10 and Roll = 15 when it is in its
normal "resting" position. To compensate, use the ANGLE ALIGN command, passing as
Command Data the angles of 5, 10 and 15 degrees. After this sequence is sent, the sensor outputs
will be zero, and orientations will be computed as if the sensor were not misaligned.
Note: the ANGLE ALIGN command only affects the computation of orientation - it has no effect on
position.
If you immediately follow the ANGLE ALIGN command with a POINT or STREAM mode data
request, you may not see the effect of the ALIGN command in the data returned. It may take one
measurement period (~4.2 milliseconds) before you see the effect of the command.
The host computer must send the
Command Data
immediately following the
Command Byte
.
Command data consists of the angles.
The Command Byte and Command Data must be transmitted to The Bird in the following seven-
byte format:
MSB LSB
7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 BYTE #
0 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 #1 Command Byte

B7 B6 B5 B4 B3 B2 B1 B0 #6 LSbyte R
B15 B14 B13 B12 B11 B10 B9 B8 #7 MSbyte R
See the ANGLES command for the format and scaling of the angle values sent.
