05 - VIPS Using with a VBOX 3i/Standalone
Using VIPS with a VBOX 3i
When set to
VB3i connected
within the
VIPS Site Configuration Software
and the correct
uploaded to the Rover unit, it is now possible to start testing using a VB3i and VIPS. The VBOX 3i will function the same
as when using GNSS in terms of CAN In/Out, data logging (analogue, etc.) and
use.
As the VIPS is designed to be used with IMU integration enabled, the same
should be
performed as normal. When indoor/outdoor operation is selected, the VIPS system will wait for GPS lock and IMU
synchronisation before attempting to initialise the VIPS positioning.
Using VIPS as Stand Alone
When set to
Stand alone
within the
VIPS Site Configuration Software
and the correct
uploaded to
the Rover unit, the VIPS can be used without a VBOX by connecting the Rover unit via serial connection. In this mode,
you can enable the VIPS built in Kalman filter from the site configuration software. By default there is no Kalman filtering
of the data, making the output data more noisy than the VBOX solution.
Site ID
When a rover powers up it searches for beacons. Once 1 or more beacons are found, it queries the closest beacon for
its site ID and the checksum for its configuration information.
This site ID and checksum are then compared to the last 4 sites that the Rover has seen. If they match, the Rover will
load the configuration from memory and start running.
If the ID and/or checksum don’t match anything the Rover has seen before, it will then initiate a Bluetooth connection to
the beacon and download the site configuration information. This means that only the beacons need to be configured,
any rover can arrive at the site and will automatically work without further configuration.
