Entering the Initial latitude
OCTANS 3000 has to know the latitude of its location in order to find geographical North rapidly. Accuracy required on
the latitude input depends on the current latitude: 3 degrees accuracy on latitude at 45 degrees latitude, and 1 degree
accuracy for latitudes below 30 degrees.
Step
Action
1.
Launch the Web-based User Interface from the WEB browser hosted on the workstation. By entering its
URL address (default address is 192.168.36.1xx, xx being the two last numbers of the OCTANS 3000 serial
number). The Control page opens.
2.
Select
INIt & UpDatE
under
SEtUp
menu.
The following page displays:
3.
Enter the correct initial latitude.
Latitude is entered as a signed value in degrees with a resolution of 0.01 degree: positive (0 to 90 degrees)
in the northern hemisphere, negative (-90 degrees to 0 degree) in the southern hemisphere.
4.
Click on
OK
button.
5.
End of procedure.
Configuring the Inputs/Outputs
Up to five inputs/outputs are available: A, B, C, D and E. For each input/output, you can define the following parameters
(refer to OCTANS 3000 User Manual - Part 4 for details on these parameters) :
•
In both directions: the Physical Link to receive and transmit data, the protocol and for the
- Serial case: Parity, Stop Bit (StopBit), Level and Baudrate
- Ethernet case: Transport layer, IP Address and Port socket number
•
For the Output Direction:
- Lever arm: to specify the lever arm used: Primary, Secondary A, Secondary B or Secondary C. Motion sensing out
put on the protocol selected will be the motion measured at the external monitoring point defined by the lever arm.
- Either Rate (ms) the time interval in milliseconds between the beginning of two consecutive outputs
- Or Synchro In: when this option is selected, the output frequency is determined by the input coming from the input
Pulse A, Pulse B, or Pulse C
- ZDA checkbox: Tick it if you want to add the ZDA frame to the NMEA protocol selected (only available for NMEA
protocol)
