Introduction 

Thank you for choosing an xOEM series inertial navigation system. This OEM board set version of the 
xNAV series combines embedded dual GNSS receivers and tactical-grade IMU in one easy to 
integrate package. The compact form factor does not sacrifice accuracy, it provides system 
integrators with a high performance GNSS-aided inertial navigation system perfect for any application 
where continuous position and orientation is required. 

The xOEM series retains all the features and performance of the xNAV series, including dual GNSS 
receivers, real-time 100/200/250 Hz outputs, DGPS corrections, tight-coupling and advanced gx/ix 
processing technology, but without an enclosure. This cuts the weight by more than half and makes 
the xOEM ideal for integrating into space limited or weight restricted systems. Standard NMEA 
messages and a 1PPS signal are available to synchronise with other sensors and decoders are freely 
available for the full NCOM outputs. 

This manual covers the technical information required to successfully integrate the xOEM into your 
system. For information on configuring and operating the xOEM, please see the full xNAV User 
Manual. The following chapter lists additional available documentation that may be of use when using 
the xOEM. It is beyond the scope of this manual to provide details on service or repair. Contact OxTS 
support or your local representative for any customer service-related inquiries.
