Figure 11. Main Window Controls
There are several data monitoring views available depending on what measurements are desired for
monitoring and recording. Each view corresponds to one of the main categories in the Device Settings
window. For example, the 3DM-CX5-GNSS/INS includes Sensor Data Monitoring for the
IMU/AHRS measurements, GNSS Monitoring for the GNSS metrics, and EF Monitoring for the
Estimation Filter outputs. During viewing and recording only the outputs that are selected in the
Message Format tab of the Device Settings menu are displayed and recorded (
Data streaming must be started, in order for data to be recorded, however it is not necessary to view it in
a data monitoring window. Data monitoring is used primarily to confirm the system is operating correctly
or to view the outputs in near real time. If sensor setup has already been confirmed, streaming and
recording can be initiated from the main window.
