Beacon ID
The
Beacon ID
is a unique identifier that is hard coded into the beacon, similar to a serial number. This ID number can
be changed to match the Friendly ID as needed, allowing for replacement beacons to be easily swapped in and out.
Offset
The
Offset
is the distance between the beacon and the nominated origin location, with East, North and Up being
positive values, West, South and Down being negative values (assuming a rotation angle of 0).
Delay
The
Delay
option allows for further calibration to the beacons if needed.
Status
The
Status
display gives a live display of whether the beacon is currently operating or not.
Ping Table
The VBOX IPS rover needs to know the expected order it will receive the ‘Ping’ signals from the beacons, based on
whichever beacon is nearest. Once the Beacon Offsets have been entered, you should press the
Calculate
button to
update the Ping Table. For sites with unusual layouts it may be necessary to manually edit this table, but for most sites
the automatic calculation will be correct.
It is important that the Ping table correctly matches the expected number of beacons, with the addition of ‘Beacon 0’
which is always present.
